+
+<a href="/proprietary/proprietary.html">Other examples of proprietary
malware</a>
+
+<p>Here are examples of proprietary software that has something
+worse than a back door.</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Once Microsoft has tricked a user into accepting installation
+ of Windows
+ 10, <a
href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/01/windows_10_nagware_no_way_out/">they
+ find that they are denied the option to cancel or even postpone
+ the imposed date of installation</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>This demonstrates what we've said for years: using
+ proprietary software means letting someone have power over you,
+ and you're going to get screwed sooner or later.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The Apple Music client
+ program <a
href="https://blog.vellumatlanta.com/2016/05/04/apple-stole-my-music-no-seriously/">scans
+ the user's file system for music files, copies them to an Apple
+ server, and deletes them</a>.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Apple <a
+href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160608183145/http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/14/uninstall_quicktime_for_windows/">
+stops users from fixing the security bugs in Quicktime for
+ Windows</a>, while refusing to fix them itself.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>iOS version 9 for
+ iThings <a
href="https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/feb/05/error-53-apple-iphone-software-update-handset-worthless-third-party-repair">sabotages
+ them irreparably if they were repaired by someone other than
+ Apple</a>. Apple eventually backed off from this policy under
+ criticism from the users. However, it has not acknowledged that
+ this was wrong.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Phillips “smart” lightbulbs had initially been
+ designed to interact with other companies' smart light bulbs, but <a
+
href="https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20151214/07452133070/lightbulb-drm-philips-locks-purchasers-out-third-party-bulbs-with-firmware-update.shtml">
+ later the company updated the firmware to disallow
interoperability</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>If a product is “smart”, and you didn't build it, it is
+ cleverly serving its manufacturer <em>against you</em>.</p>

+
