I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

If you don't drink a verification can, are you depriving Mountain Dew of their legal right to make you drink verification cans? If you don't enroll in the IOF, are you depriving Israel of its legal right to murder thousands of darker skinned people? Maybe some legal rights are so stupid they shouldn't exist?
