The article has this:

> Impression v Lexmark Isn’t About Printer Ink, It’s About Property Rights

to which one can agree. The object of discussion isn't limited to these two companies and this one product.

Then later article says:

> Also, how much weight do we assign those forms that no one ever reads?

and one would assume this could be given an even bigger weight. People accuse Bitcoin in wasting electricity but an obvious question with laws and law practices at least in US which commands a lot of resources is raised relatively rarely.
