OK... so you dont approve of it....... now what?
Really? Do you really not realize that when enough customers complain companies frequently do something about it?
That's the entire point of expressing an opinion as a customer. And while large companies can and do ignore customers, if they do so too frequently or too flagrantly they run the very real risk of losing them.***
Motorola has run this course before already, when their Razr line of phones ceased serving consumer needs and they had nothing else left to offer. They nearly became irrelevant in the cell phone business, and only got to do the phoenix-from-the-ashes routine because they released a very consumer friendly Android phone (the OG Droid) that sold like hotcakes and helped redefine what a smartphone could be.
History can easily repeat itself if they decide they are once again so successful that they can ignore consumer opinion. In fact it's almost a certainty that it will if that attitude becomes further entrenched as time goes on.
Letters to relevant people at Moto and VZ, coverage on the internet, even well-read blogs are all appropriate forms of consumer leverage that have nothing what so ever to do with the ToU or the actual legality of what they are doing. I realize that there were some posts earlier of the "it's mine so I should be able to do what I want" variety that didn't seem to understand that these companies purposely gave themselves legal coverage to do so, but the main thrust of this thread is a discussion of the problem, and it's a perfectly reasonable and legitimate topic. The very act of discussing it in a thread on popular forums furthers the cause by making others aware of the issue, which helps increase the number of consumers relaying their distaste for the action.
Your responses are starting to feel like there is something else driving them. You continue to shoehorn a conversation on customers' disliking of an action from Motorola into a
very limited view of tort law. This makes it seem like you either don't understand how consumers and corporations usually solve these conflicts (hint: not in courts!) or else you're intentionally trying to derail the conversation.
***Edit: As a recent and very public example, Blizzard-Activision had made the decision that they were going to force people to use their social-media ID system when individuals left feedback on their forums. The positives were clear...forums like that often are melodramatic and have more trolls than you can shake a ban-stick at, and they thought it would clear up unproductive posts overnight. Yet within a week they reversed their decision due to customer outcry. The company had every legal right to continue with their decision, but reversed it 100% due to consumer pressure. This happens all the time, just not usually in such a public manner.
