- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

That is a very short sighted perspective.
Jk sells for rights for x. buyer uses rights to create products, because buyer thinks it will boost sales. People buy products because of HP and sales are boosted. Buyer is happy.
Time passes.
Bought rights expire, buyer made a lot of money. Buyer wants to buy the rights again.
Alternatively
Buyer 2 sees success, wants a piece of the pie, buys rights from jk.
If you boycott HP, buyer wasted a lot of money and will not pay for an extension of the rights.
