<p> I believe this isn't something we'll get without government intervention. In my mind it is a basic property right for the owner of the hardware to control the keys to any locks, and be able to control what software is installed on their digital property. We need to get provincial governments (property rights) involved to protect this. It shouldn't be a matter of "manufacturer should allow it", but that "provincial government mandates it".</p>
