Well it's about time for all of the after market ink/cart/paper issues
to be legally sorted out.
Be that as it may, should it become impossible to legally obtain after
market ink for any printer, I'm sure other radical changes will occur in
this market as one law suite usually begets another.

That's like some BMW would file a lawsuit against michelin since they also

Will they also file a lawsuit against paper companies since they make paper
which fits into their printers?
Ink is consumable material. As paper. as simple as that. They even don't
have legal support for saying that "using non-epson ink will void a
warranty", while this is total bullshit.
Even if they do win, they will close down in a few months, since no-one will
then buy Epson printers. Always there will be companies which will allow
such ink as a reason that printers will sell. Even if we do believe that
they have no profit by selling printers, only ink, we do know that this is
bullshit. They don't make 100 units, but 100 millions...it's just...they
also have a profit (bigger) from selling ink. Well, it's just bussiness. If
they lower prices, people will buy epson ink. As simple as that.

ink for Epson. And it makes it "only for Epson" while it sells same ink in
free market under another name. It's like when buying wiper for Renault
original, you get Valeo and it's original Renault. And it costs 100 units,
say. But, when you go into car parts store, you get SAME Valeo wiper for 20
units. Not similar, but SAME, just in different package. Same is with ink.

There are reputable 3rd-party vendors that
have been selling Epson-compatible carts
for years: MIS, Lyson, Mediastreet,
InkjetMall, etc.
Don't think for a moment that HP, Canon,
or Lexmark would deal any more kindly
with vendors of compatible ink carts.
For *current* HP inkjet printers, the
only carts you will find are either from
HP directly, or from recycled HP carts.

When people request help in un-clogging their printers why is i
assumed the problem is third party inks
When blame can be pointed towards-: The user, the ink and th
reliability factor
But yet-
When I have had experience of Epsons clogging on the 2nd day and
replacement clogging on the 4th day with OEM ink this was assumed t
be a bad batch of printers
Let Epson bring law suites, let them overcharge for their inks, thi
sure ain't stoppin' the problem
Thank God I bought a Canon...at least I can print without having t
check for flaws and I don't get clogged, ...."Never get Clogge
with an Epson, cos it can be expensive"

I can't argue this. I find Epson's latest projectionist approaches to
be unconscionable. They first develop cartridges with unique features
which are mainly for their own advantage to try to limit the purchase of
third party product, and to avoid refilling, and then they go and sue
companies that figure out ways to get around them.
Personally, it would give me great pause about buying a new Epson printer.
