@leeloo @StaticR @lianna again, take the example of George Hotz, who in high school back in 2007 “siMply waNTEd TO modifY SoFtWARe thaT He ownED On hIS IPhonE” and then oops! somehow a multi-billion exclusivity deal that AT&T paid for with real money lost tons of value. yea boo hoo, I get it. nothing of real value lost.
