    This is very true. If Amazon shuts down tomorrow, you’ve forever lost that license to what ever software you rented.

    You have no way of ever getting that license back, legally. You will have to rent said software somewhere else, even though the nomenclature on the website and everywhere else said “You bought this”

    Which is far more patently false than what you’re saying.

          I think you’re both on the same side and find that there aren’t enough protections for consumers and that the existing ones are being ignored. You @[email protected] and @[email protected] are describing how things are currently working out in reality despite the laws, @[email protected] is describing how things are legally despite their disregard.

          We can probably all agree that we need to enforce the existing laws and expand them.
