c) Who own the right to modify your digital tools? Does it matter at all? why or why not???
it does a matter to argue who has a right to modify one's digital tools. it is because the digital tools are one's property. no one can modify without permissions. however, some systems do not have a great use. i think people can slightly modify the operating systems, but they should be respect to the owners ( the company who developed the software), system can be slightly modified by individuals but they should not release to the public.
