“If buying isn’t owning then pirating isn’t stealing”

Which is why this will be fleeting if it ever gets implemented at all. Companies won't allow it until they can spin it to their satisfaction. For now if it's just CA, they can say "oh crazy CA and their crazy regulations" just like they say about the cancer warnings which actually are quite useful in reducing your lifetime cumulative exposure even if the chemicals from a single product won't kill you immediately.
