The open-source license violations happening here aside, there are some more lulz in their Terms of Service:
So you're paying $85 for a $20 router they found on Alibaba, and you don't even own it! That's rich.
 
I'm pretty disappointed in this video overall. The ethical (and in some cases legal) issues related to the suggested usage and product itself are pretty bad and really this should not be promoted by this channel.

So LinusMediaGroup don't want my money?

Any updates?

Hello,
 
I wanted to subscribe to the Floatplane Early-Access today but unfortunately I get a message saying that "my PayPal account is registered in a country where automatic payments are not allowed". While this message indicates otherwise, the PayPal support said the vendor has to enable other countries than their own (maybe germany specifically) for subscriptions. I was able to subscribe to Vessel and others like Crunchyroll without any issues in the past so this doesn't seem to be general "ban" on subscriptions for germany.
 
An alternative for those affected would be to offer an option to get a prepaid version of the Floatplane subscription, that should work from germany and other countries where it's currently not possible otherwise.
 
Thanks!
