He was super dumb posting that. Maybe Canada is different in terms of BSA.

To be fair, the BSA is basically extortion via the power of EULA provisions of dubious legality and enforce-ability. A lot of countries don't have it, because the underlying contract law doesn't support 'do what we say or we'll bankrupt you with legal fees'.

From what I understand the license agreement gives them the permission to audit you, so if you don't comply with the audit then you are violating the software license and they sue

In some states they've ruled that clickwrap software EULAs are non-binding and generally unenforceable, so it would be really interesting to have someone in those states tell them "rear end in a top hat Software Inc. vs. Joe Q. Public says that your agreement I have to sign is worth less then the toilet paper I use to wipe my rear end, so kindly go gently caress yourselves".

HDR video is supposed to follow a strict PQ EOTF, which means that if the video metadata says that a pixel is supposed to be X brightness, your display is supposed to display it at that exact brightness. Brighter HDR screens in theory just mean they can output a larger range of brightness, not that all content will be brighter. Phones are different though, and there's no way to have an 'accurate' setting. Brightness is set by the user, and you can absolutely blow out some retinas if the content is mastered to be way too bright and the brightness setting on your phone is set high.

It's the lovely HDR equivalent of commercials being 20% louder than regular TV.
