I thought I bought a camera, but no DJI sold me a license to use it [video]

Shittiness aside, there's no such thing as a license for a physical product. Licenses are for things that are copyrighted, like movies or software.

A company can't force you to use a physical product in a certain way; a "license" won't hold up in court.

What argument would hold in US court though? Camera is not working without an app be valid?

> won't hold up in court

Does that even matter? because at 4:50 on the video you can clearly read:

    "You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under these Terms" 

... in the "binding arbitration and no class action" terms that you need to Agree to.

Tell that to Haas, one of the only US based CnC machine manufacturers.

They instruct technicians to disable features for hardware if you haven’t paid the licensing fee for that hardware. Swapped the 10 head tool changer for a 14 head from a downed machine? Sucks to be you buddy it won’t work because you haven’t licensed the feature to have 14 tools! Oh you bought the machine used? And they swapped it for you? Sucks to be you pay up or it’s scrap metal to you.

is that clause even legal/enforceable in "normal" jurisdictions?
