Legislation is the only way to reign it in, of course they'd scream "but prices would go up!". I'd rather pay a few bucks more up front to not pay 10x as much in ink later. The whole subscription model is awful too. They are turning our whole lives into rentals.

I'm sure if they did legislate it they'd do everything they could to try to work around it.

Sure it's cat and mouse, but the mouse doesn't do well if it just let's the cat bat it around the room.
