Do I? How so?
Any number of ways. For example, you probably don't connect the serial ports
to a device I have access to.
But you're not the user of the software on my laptop. I am.
ahh, but by your own argument you aren't
the software on your laptop is owned by people like Linus, Al Viro, David
M, Alan Cox, etc.
they have the right to put a license on that software that would require
you to give them access to your hardware (after all, that's the argument
that you are useing to justify requireing Tivo to give you access to their
hardware)
