    Well, this might be a crazy and radical plan, to radical for most on this forum even but; Have you considered blowing the dust out with a gas duster or compressed air?  Crazy I know but I've been reading some science on this and it might actually be possible.

    Well, a critical thing to consider is how much reliability do you need?  Amazon can migrate your instances to new hardware in the event that their hardware fails.  If your collocated hardware has a failure what will be Plan B and how much downtime is acceptable to you to implement Plan B?

    No but there are some literal Disney works that are public domain in Canada.

    Now, of course, Disney is so HUGE it has entire OTHER WAYS to enforce it's control of things.

    Canadian Retailer: "We're selling Chinese made copies of Dumbo for cheap cause it's Public Domain. :D"
    Disney: "How would you like to NEVER sell ANY Star Wars merch EVER again?"
    Canadian Retailer: "Imma just go push these boxes of BluRays RIGHT into the river.  Sorry, please forget we said anything."

    Good example, I'd not followed up on the aftermath of that.
     
    For sure it's a PR mess and we've not seen things like that since.  But it is a risk one takes and MOST people can't afford a legal defence even if they could effectively and aggressively settle for much less than the original demands or even press something to trial and try to get it dismissed.  Frankly, a lot of people can't even afford the several thousand a settlement would cost OR the several thousand an effective legal defence would cost.
     
    You def could face some serious financial pain for piracy but the vast majority dismiss it since 'everybody does it' and only a very small minority suffer the consequences.

    Solution 1) Engage in an endless cyclical argument about pointless garbage where nobody's onion is changed.

    Solution 2) Go get lunch, wouldn't a sandwich be tasty?

    This is done to protect the actual chips from significant damage.  a bag of chips can't be packed like a bag of rice.  Believe me, if you could sell a smaller chip bag with the same volume, it'd save significantly on shipping.  Chips are light but with so much space being air (Nitrogen actually) they take up a LOT of space, relatively, to ship and that increases costs.

    Also, since Pringles are made from a paste and put into 'chip shape' using a machine die process, they're more expensive to manufacture than sliced potatoes.
     
    Of course all of that is why Pringles COST more.

    It's no different than putting the installer onto a USB key.  Do the exact same process with the media creation tool but use the SD card instead of a USB key,

    It's the highest efficiency 10 000 BTU window air conditioner I could find.  And it's a wifi powered IoT one no less and even works with Google Assistant and Alexa.  By June the Russians will have this thing will be mining cryptocurrency and running DDoS attacks for sure!

    How about not wasting parts of your life arguing about such asinine things with strangers on the internet? ^___^
     
    Arguments such as this rarely result in one side 'winning' and it only consumes time, time that you could instead invest in doing something of actual value that you'd better appreciate.
