Submission Text
I’m a consumer of a rental store and I not sure what’s worse paying these high prices or you now removing something I was paying for. I want the ability to have my computer tracked and monitored if it becomes stolen. Don’t you? Now just because I’m renting a computer I’m not allowed to protect my property like every other American ? My lease agreement states I cannot install unapproved software because I do NOT own it. That’s fine with me. But now I cannot install anti-theft software because when I call the software vendor they inform me that since I have the computer on a lease contract they cannot help me. I call their competitors and get the same results. Now, I am without protection because you’re afraid someone will see my having sex? I should be so lucky.
