Been busy so I just tried to catch up on a few pages since I last looked. I've seen a lot of really moronic things written since then. I'm going to try and address them all because I'd really like to not have my time wasted having to read such idiotic garbage again.
First "You agreed to the TOS when you bought your Mavic and no one made you buy it". Ridiculous. I was presented with no TOS before purchasing my product. I bought my Mavic on Amazon. Those who said this and those who will say it again, please screen shot the TOS on the Amazon page that I evidently ignored which I accepted by checking out.
Yet, you are posting idiotic garbage in response, and apparently have a reading comprehension problem.
The Terms of Use were presented to you when you downloaded and installed the DJI GO 4 app. You could not have done so without agreeing to those Terms of Use.
As is the very legal, very common practice, under those terms DJI did not give you ownership of the software. In fact, you did not pay for it, so DJI demanded other consideration in exchange for your right to use the software. That "consideration" was the surrendering of all sort of rights, agreement that DJI is not liable for anything, and that they may change the software features, functionality, etc. in any way the choose in future update.
That's what you agreed to. Its no different than most apps you install on your phone or tablet. It's entirely legal, and DJI has no fear of any lawsuit of any kind for changing DJI GO 4, the account and service model for their servers, etc. Why? Because you already agreed to it the first time you accepted the ToU for GO4, downloaded it, and installed it.
Oh, and by the way, when you agreed to those terms they also included a clause that you would use binding arbitration to resolve any dispute, and you explicitly agreed NOT to join any class action.
Now, if you file a lawsuit over these changes to GO4, what do you think the very first thing DJI's lawyers are going to throw in your face?
Second "My car, my blu ray player, my tv, my cat etc all require periodic updates...so what?" Sure, they do.
No, they don't. Idiotic assertion #2.
Manufacturers do not generally
require any update to firmware in their devices after sale. Of course we have plenty of incentive to do so, but we don't have to. When we do, the manufacturer requires we agree to terms that protect them in exchange for the value if the update, in lieu of payment.
You can always not bother with updating firmware. Lord knows there's all sorts of stuff I own that has updates, but it just isn't important to me to bother.
But do the manufacturers of those products tell you that if you don't update your car windshield will be blacked out? Your blu ray player won't play? Your tv will only get one channel? No, they don't.
If there was a compelling safety or legal reason, they might.
Stop with these idiotic, apples/oranges examples.
THAT there is an update with the threat that if you don't do it your product will be limited is.
An your calling other people here idiotic? The exact opposite is true: Refuse the update, and you will not be limited in any way.
Perform the update, but fail to complete the entire procedure (i.e. re-login to your DJI account after the update from GO4) and you'll be limited.
Not going to bother responding to the rest of this drivel. It's gotta be embarrassing to come on and accuse others of idiotic statements with, well, idiotic statements.
