It's only yours after you bought it. Until then, it's theirs. They can, and
should, be able to do what ever they want to it 'while it's theirs' to keep you
from doing anything they don't want you to do to it after it's yours.

Statement 1 : They can, and should, be able to do what ever they want
to it 'while it's theirs'

Statement 2 : to keep you from doing anything they don't want you to
do to it after it's yours

The above statements shows clearly how our freedom is taken away by Tivoization.
Thanks mark :-)
