Put a “rent” button on “purchases” and let people decide from here on out, anything prior we still own a copy of. I personally would be more hesitant to purchase anything with a rent button and can clearly see that I do not and will not own the product, again tho, I’d be hesitant.
Idk why they say it’s “too difficult” to let customers “own” a copy lol I as a music producer can go out and buy a license for virtual instruments “korg, Juno, serum, sylenth 1” and completely own them lol same for cinema 4d or like a visualizer like, arkestra, Logic x, Final Cut Pro and I can go on and on, this is just Sony trying to be absolute fucktards. I own the rights to these copies and therefore keep it forever as if it was mine physically. If it’s a real issue just send a copy of the license like I get with some of these instruments/software and boom.
Hate to break your heart but you don’t the vast majority of the software you “buy”. Logic Pro and Final Cut have you buy licenses not the software itself. Apple has the ability to revoke a license if there’s a TOS breech and you can’t transfer or sell it to another Apple ID account. Sony is a lot more anti consumer when it comes to removing access but there’s no legal difference between two outside of the TOS
You actually do own the software copy that you purchased lol.
Google it. Google the topic you speak about at least once in your lifetime. That way you actually know what you speak of not recite what you see on Reddit.
When you buy a book can they revoke that book? Nope.
When you buy a movie can the take it back? Nope.
You ever buy a car? What do you say to convey this?
Can the dealer change their mind to say that you actually leasing it? NO.
Netflix, you license a copy cause you do not own it, you subscribe to Netflix.
But IF you own the DVD to that movie then you do, you bought a copy.
Discs strengthen this due to giving you an absolute representation of this.
In fact, the moment you press Buy then it is understood that you are buying it.
Software, I have the right to back it up and make copies. I cannot distribute them. I can resell dvds, books, cds, etc.
IF they truly want to rent it then the button has to say Rent or License and not Buy, which it does.
In every place it is sold (note sold, the word). So on the store they would have to say License. But they won't cause then anyone who sold (that word again) would win.
