It eludes me how people pay to 'buy' something that they cannot download in the first place. If I don't have it as a file on my computer, I don't own it. You wouldn't pay to 'buy' a physical item if that meant only being able to look at it at the store, without the ability to take it home and do whatever you want with it.
If buying is not owning…
Just wait until they can figure out how to do this to physical items. How? Idfk bro what am I a rocket appliance?
Subscription lock
I'd love to see them put that on the big black dildo I purchase each year. Try me!
Lol
sorry vibrating/heating function locked until daily dues are paid.
Safety eject option locked until subscription is paid. "911. I have a dildo shoved in my ass and my safety eject subscription ran out. Please help!" you know, it sounds crazy and like this could never happen but I say it's just crazy enough it will happen. Look at who the American president is. That's all the proof you need.
I agree. However, some dishonest services allow to download, but downloaded file is DRM. It is even worse.
Convenience. Most people reads book once, if they finish it at all.
