This is yet another example of the conspiracy, or perhaps policy would be more accurate, to deprive consumers of the freedom to do what they like with what they have bought. On another thread, someone described how expensive watches can no longer be serviced by a local clocksmith, with whom one may have a friendly relationship lasting decades, because the manufacturers wont sell them spare parts. so you have to send them off to the maker where they do what they like at whatever cost they like. The same with cars, as we all know. It is really infuriating!
