I like everyone saying “but this is surely illegal!” as if these corporations actually care. At least in the US, it really doesn’t matter what the law says at this point.
Corporations will do what they want and the law will be modified to reflect that, this is the current status quo and it is going to take significant political action (specifically making rich people afraid again to piss the rest of us off too much) to make it change.
It's just an exhausting uphill battle that never ends. I don't have the time or resources to combat monied corporations.
At this point, it's like they're trying to get everyone to pirate everything.
Call your House of Representative member and tell them that.
