Misinformation-Superhighwayman<p>How Youtuber Louis Rossmann's beef with an Australian PlayStation repair whiz revealed a shocking past<br><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-20/youtuber-louis-rossmann-takes-on-better-way-electronics/105532410" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-07-20/you</span><span class="invisible">tuber-louis-rossmann-takes-on-better-way-electronics/105532410</span></a></p><p>This story takes some twists and turns.</p><p>For me, it's a reminder for me of several important points:<br>- People who do downright awful things in one area of their life/work/morals are usually terrible people in other areas.<br>- Some people have enough awareness to say "Sorry" to their victims, yet not show remorse or contrition. They do not change their ways, they are manipulative, and they think they're the smartest person in the room. They're incapable of showing sincere respect or gratitude toward other people. They're toxic, they're abusive, they're bullies, and they're acting as though "The end justifies the means" to get what they want.<br>- We should all have the right to repair software, hardware, and systems we own. Whether you're running a repair business, or are a Maker (or "Hacker" by the old-school definition), or are a regular person engaging in a hobby at home, we should be supportive of each other in these aims. It's wrong to impede these goals by abusing legal tools such as Copyright, DRM, and DMCA.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Maker</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Hacker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hacker</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LouisRossmann" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LouisRossmann</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/JessaJones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JessaJones</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DigitalRightsManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalRightsManagement</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DigitalRestrictionsManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalRestrictionsManagement</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRM</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct</span></a> DMCA <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LuanTahiraj" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LuanTahiraj</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BetterWayElectronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BetterWayElectronics</span></a></p>
