Let's use your analogy. Is it okay for a free ebook to remotely update (in a way that makes the version you previously downloaded gone forever)? How about a free documentary you downloaded? A textbook? Would it still be okay if the update takes content away or otherwise makes the item less valuable? What if it introduces content you find objectionable, and don't want on you machine? Still okay? No, it's not. That's ridiculous. If you agree to give something away for free as part of your business strategy then you can make all the changes you want to future versions. You can even stop offering new downloads or updates for free at all. What you shouldn't be able to do is retroactively change the product you already gave me for free. You made a business decision. If it later turns out it was a bad one then tough luck. I have rights as a consumer and as a human being. Yes, even if you give me something for free. To suggest otherwise is blatantly anti-consumer and morally bankrupt.
