Not to you and me, but there seem to be a lot of people who don't understand the principle and think they're actually buying a ebook.
But - yeah - this is not informative at all. Amazon did the least amount of work necessary to formally comply with those new California requirements (I suspect this is what it's about) about the language on digital licensing.
It's something, though. But I agree it would be nice to have a license summary label, like those broadband facts labels or nutritional labels.
- School-Cotton 2y agoWhat would actually mean to “buy” an ebook? The concept of ownership doesn’t really make sense for digital goods — no matter how you define it, it will be meaningfully different from owning a physical object.
- EMIRELADERO 2y agoIt would simply mean to own an individual digital file, which would only be restricted by copyright law itself, no contracts.
