You’re merely in possession of them, with others allowed to set the rules.
As an AppleTV user I could be totally smug about this, but there’s nothing stopping Apple from making a similar move if they wanted to, and I wouldn’t have jack shit to say about it.
I’ve tried more open options and they all suck, but I hope one day there can come an open appliance-platform which at least is usable and supports all the latest standards. Then I might be willing to give it a try.
