  Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in. - - - - - Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.

  'You people' is typically defined by the attached action. 'You people' are the people who actually do that thing, whatever it is. If you don't do it, 'you people' is not you.

  Just connect USB-C headphones, or use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongle. The audio jack isn't needed anymore. The only real downsides of USB-C are that you can't charge while listening, less wirelessly, and it's more wear and tear for the port, but that's unlikely to matter.
