Can I borrow someone's copy when you're finished with it?
Update: http://azizansari.com/tos http://azizansari.com/tos says, All downloads are for use on one device only. You may keep one backup copy of the digital content downloaded from this site on any digital media of your choice.
- delackner 15y agoThis is hilarious. He is being downvoted for pointing out one of the biggest serious issues with digital content licensing: The problem isn't just the DRM, but also that the licensing agreements usually (always?) destroy the traditional right to resell your book/movie/album when you are sick of it, or just when you would rather that a friend have it (say, when you finish reading a book). Paying say $15 for an ebook that is nontransferrable, when the physical book is ALSO $15, is an absurdity that I can't imagine will stand the test of time. Our entire human history is on the side of the feeling that when you buy something, you can then give that particular thing away to someone else. Current legal and market norms don't serve this basic human instinct yet, and it remains to be seen which shifts first. My money is on humans insisting to keep giving things away to their friends.
- alan_cx 15y agoI assume he simply got "advised" to do that. I wouldn't mind betting that if some one kindly emailed him and explain why that is a problem, he might well see that it is changed. You point if fair though. I dont see why you've been down voted either.
