It appears that many lack the knowledge of the current business model. No one is shooting their foot or anything similar. Amazon or Sony or any other companies are not non-profit organizations, their directive isn’t to bring you new technology or innovation, isn’t to enlighten the masses either, it’s to make money and use all means for that purpose. Anyway, who doesn’t want to make more? If you sell something you don’t want to price it higher too? No? You don’t want to force the consumer to buy more from you? I can’t understand why there are people that state surprised because of such tactics.
It’s true that kindle comes with built-in GPS module?
Sony wasn’t the one that distributed CDs loaded with trojans (not condoms, the other kind)?
There isn’t a matter of trust between companies and consumers, such notion is invalid. What we really want is thinking consumers and freely available information (see internet). Well, at least if we like to avoid true capitalism, where they’d measure the power of votes according to wealth of the voter (not that the democracy of today is different by far; politicians need sponsorship).
