ahh, but by your own argument you aren't

the software on your laptop is owned by people like Linus, Al Viro, David
M, Alan Cox, etc.

they have the right to put a license on that software that would require
you to give them access to your hardware (after all, that's the argument
that you are useing to justify requireing Tivo to give you access to their
hardware)
