When Amazon decides to cut you off, you’ll know. Example: bought Albums on iTunes over a decade ago. Can’t re-download. Not even for a nominal bandwidth fee.

- carlosjobim 2y agoIf Amazon remotely nukes my device, I've still had it for many years working perfectly. So I'm not going to loose sleep.

- freedomben 2y agoWe have a pretty fundamental disagreement then on what we want from content we've purchased. If I'm buying it then I expect to have it forever. It really blows my mind to think that somebody wouldn't even be upset if some big corp suddenly stole all the content they've purchased over the years.
- carlosjobim 2y agoI don't get my books from Amazon, how would they be able to access my computer and my backups?
- freedomben 2y agoOk then, you're probably fine, but you did reply to a comment that specifically said "from Amazon" so I don't think it's unreasonable to assume you meant you had bought them from Amazon. > You don't really own anything from Amazon. Kindle is good as ashtray.
- carlosjobim 2y agoSaying that the Kindle is as good as an ashtray is like saying cars are useless because we can travel by horse. It's ideologically motivated detachment from reality.

- tanjtanjtanj 2y agoWhy is that? I just downloaded a couple albums I bought from iTunes in 2008 as a test. Were they specific ones that were removed from iTunes for license issues? (Not that that’s a good excuse)
