Re: The issues was never reselling the discs
Exactly.
I notice that iFixit also neglected to mention that you can punch in your Windows license number and download the ISO directly from Microsoft.
The issue was his copying the DVDs and plastering Microsoft, Windows and AFAIK Dell logos on them.
This case has absolutely nothing to do with recycling. It seems like iFixit is using any excuse to push their agenda.
What does somebody infringing IP rights have to do with the recyclability of Microsoft products?
I agree with iFixit, in general, about the state of modern products and their lack of reparability. I can remember in my childhood that we would grab a soldering iron and swap out defective components and that the family TV lasted over 20 years. Heck, my mother received a mixer when she married, it was still working 40 years later, and she used it regularly. The replacement only lasted about 3 years...
But I think they are doing themselves a disservice in this case by blurring the facts to fit their own agenda.
