Hopefully never - it seems the right to repair is coming along in our country, altho it could move a lot quicker IMO... I wonder where hacking, or 'breaking' a factory paywall would land in that whole scheme of things.

I know that if I ever HAVE to purchase some piece of equipment that has software paywalls, I'll certainly be trying to hack the functionality.
