Samsung is one of the groups pushing against right to repair laws. They specifically mention secondary market and legal purchaser. If you bought it second hand direct from the other, how do you prove it was yours to a digital agent?

As for the subscription service, it is a bit conspiracy theory, but with all these other digital services and Samsung already having their own streaming networks, it's not a stretch. Subscription services is one of the most lucrative cows to ever milk. For example, my weather app, when I went to first purchase it, it was $6 for the full app (remove ads, storm tracking, hurricane prediction, aiport/wind info etc.) When I got it for $4, it was only to remove ads and track storms. Hurricane path prediction and other important data such as this was suddenly a subscription service. They get their information and graphics supplied free from the US Weather Service and NOAA, so there shouldn't be a continuing fee. However, here we are.
