The Anti-Ownership Economy: Canon's Subscription Model and Consumer Backlash

Canon's decision to implement a subscription model for its EOS Webcam Utility has ignited a firestorm of criticism. Users are now required to pay $4.99 per month to unlock features that should be standard for the cameras they already own. This has led to accusations of anti-consumer practices and a growing sentiment against Canon among photographers and videographers alike.

As noted in Louis Rossmann's video, "Canon charges $5 mo to get 1080p out of your webcam; CAT disapproves!" youtu.be/_b-wUJ8J5t4 , many users are vowing to boycott Canon products in the future, and I will too. The backlash is not just about the money; it's about the principle of ownership and the right to use purchased products without additional fees. Once again, this serves as a perfect showcase of why we need open hardware and software. Otherwise, companies like Canon may decide who can access which functionalities of their devices.
