Sadly your average person just doesn't care about consumer rights, in any matter.
I learned my lesson about malicious DRM when Starforce broke my new computer's DVD drive back in the day. Fortunately it was still under warranty so I had it fixed, but sucked all the same.

I'd love to start over with 50 million, too
EU is at least trying to do something about that. As of last year stores are required to display the cheapest price they've had for an item in the past three months when they have something on sale. Not all stores comply, and of course they try to get around these by the usual shenanigans, like basically the same product being available from the manufacturer with two slightly different item codes.

This is pretty close to how it works here in Finland, although I'm not sure if it's based on national or EU legislation. The cost of recycling is baked into the price of any electronics, and as a rule of thumb, you can drop off any small devices to be recycles at stores that sell appliances. When it comes to bigger appliances, the stores only need to take your old one if you're buying a new one. You can of course also bring them to municipal recycling centers.

Indeed. My girlfriend lives there, last time I was over we went to the big demonstration against mass tourism. I felt a bit sick at the airport listening to all the north European pensioners talking about how they rent a place year round for 800€/month just to spend the odd week now and then there. While many locals working in tourism make minimum wage, around 1300€/month I believe.
I know the Finnish National Library acquires and files a copy of every newspaper or magazine issue released in Finland, and many Finnish language ones released outside Finland. Other countries probably have something similar.
I'm not a Marvel guy, but I'm vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it's something I only learned of after the movies.
Well, he does play Nick Fury.
Whatever it does, it doesn't seem to help with colors.
