They are selling it. Just because they're not selling in precisely the way you want them to, that does not mean that you're entitled to the content anyway.
You justify your piracy all you want, but let's not pretend that you'd fork over the cash to legitimize your entire library of pirated entertainment if it showed up tomorrow on some store that offered exclusively freedom-respecting DRM-free downloads (okay, maybe you would, but most people wouldn't).
- lllollhcdgb 4y agoThey aren't selling it, though, they're "licensing" it, which is indefinite rent. Not the same. Honestly they should be forced to say "rent until we change our minds" instead of "buy" in the advertisements and interfaces.
- johndough 4y ago> They are selling it. Do you mean rent? See parent poster's clarification for the term "buy": > and when I mean buy, i do not mean "rent for a non specified duration"
- charcircuit 4y agoHow is it renting? You purchase a license. At no time do you ever transfer this license over to someone else to "return the rental license."
- malka 4y agoThe licence can be revoken at any given time. This might not be renting, but it is not buying.
- jjav 4y ago> > If content creator want people to buy their content, then they should sell it. > They are selling it. The word "sell" means something different. They are not selling it if all they are doing is renting it. Which is their right if that's what they want, but there needs to be some legislation to prevent them from calling it a sale when it's really merely a short-term rental.
