  If it says “buy”, then I should own it. Anything else is a lie and demands justice.

    Even if it says “licence” or whatever then I’d still not be fine with it not being permanent. The language isn’t the problem

    You did buy something, a digital license that comes with it’s own terms.

    I agree with you by the way but it’s been 20 years and people still act surprised about this stuff.

      I’m going to keep this short. It takes a long time for society to “catch up” Facebook, twitter, the shitshows of algorithmic social media. It’s like watching a snail race but, that doesn’t make it right is what people are saying. When you go to the store and buy an apple they expect that apple to be theres except this is digital purchases and even in the terms it says that it can be modified by the corporation at any moment. Shit it’s been 112 years and climate change was only recognized as a real problem by the public in the last 30 years.

      I know it’s like the people who get mad at me when they get hit with my chainsaw and it’s like “look wrong or right I’ve been out here swinging these chainsaws while wearing a blindfold for 24 years you need to get used to it”

        I agree with all the replies I’m getting but people are literally going round in circles with the outrage over digital licenses.

        Buy physical, backup your media, download illegally or do what you need to do to show businesses that things need to change.

  We’re already past the “spreading awareness” stage. Now it’s time to do something about legally sanctioned robbery.

    No no no, OP told us it’s been ages now so we’re in the “dogmatically apathetic” stage, right before “crywank”.

  Do we need to wake up to that? Or do we need to say that’s bullshit? Which one sounds better? Maybe companies need to wake up to the fact that they shouldn’t be able to do anything they want. Why can’t we wake up to that reality?
