 RJT> I'd heard about some manufacturer putting a chip in printer

 How does a person manufacture a refill cartridge?

 A digital chip?  Or a chip like in a piece of China?

 And what is that chip supposed to do?


 RJT> and then using copyright to keep aftermarket vendors from
 RJT> making them.

 I don't think I'm dense.  Maybe it's just because I haven't
 finished the first cup of coffee this morning.  

 But what is "them".   Cartridges?  Refill cartridges?

 Why couldn't an aftermarket "vendor" simply not incorporate
 a chip when making "them"?
