The principle problems I have with your responses, despite some technical correctness, is that they studiously ignore: - That Amazon has extended special-case retail transactions to domains in which they were previously utterly absent: retail transactions of books, music, film, and other information goods. - That the degree, scope, timeframe, variability, and obscurity of Amazon's licensing are all tremendously greater than of other similar prior transactional forms. - That what were previously simple finite limited and closed transactions --- buying a book, music or video recording, magazine, etc., are now anything but. - That you're introducing other examples of recent retail practices, post-dating Amazon's significant entrance into markets and subsequent distortions to those. (I'll put that at the mid-to-late aughts, though Amazon itself of course dates to the mid-1990s.) And yes, there's been a significant transition increasingly toward licensing information product sales, most especially of software and information products, which can go back a few decades, but again hadn't applied to books, printed matter, music, and video to any appreciable extent. That Amazon, and you, continue to equivocate the term buy for transactions which are far better described as leasing or licensing. This specifically includes language on the Amazon website such as "Buy now" (for physical goods, ebooks, and audiobooks). Ultimately this is misleading and fraudulent in Amazon's case, and deceptive in yours. You're doing this repeatedly in this thread, not just in response to me, and are similarly failing to concede any points raised which contradict or reduce your own claims. Contrast my own multiple concessions. Etymology for buy: "get by paying for, acquire the possession of in exchange for something of like value; redeem, ransom; procure; get done". <https://www.etymonline.com/word/buy https://www.etymonline.com/word/buy>
