Unless a judge decides that due to the manner in which it's sold, that it constitutes a sale under the law, and hence all your normal "I've bought a thing" rights come into play. Anything in the T&Cs that takes away the rights the law gives is hence null and invalid.
- hobbes 14y agoAgreed. But, we've yet to establish if indeed they do take away rights that the law provides. I would have thought HN would have uncovered such a law by now. A cursory glance at the Wikipedia article on DRM suggests the law is favourable torwards DRM and all that that entails.
- jiggy2011 14y agoIt probably wouldn't be a "law" per se in terms of statutes, it would be down to case law. In other words we won't know until this (or something very similar) goes to court. It's not so much about DRM per se but rather about what rights you can expect when "buying" an e-book.
