Very poor example. In many parts of the world "Just quit" is "just starve to death". And guess what - brand owners do use the rights to try and stop that kind of abuse with varying degrees of success. The 'fair trade' logo is controlled this way. Many companies do their best not to license production of goods to sweat shops and child slaves. It's considered morally correct and companies get pounded by the public and lose business when they fail to police these restrictions. So please DON'T equate the two. Tivo is a minor control argument about a silly little TV recording box. Employee rights is a matter of life, death and slavery for many many people.
