I still feel like it should be illegal for the button to say "Buy" or "Purchase" when you're actually leasing the item.
There should be a nice, big, summarized disclaimer right above the button explaining what exactly you are purchasing. I'm sure the 100 page EULA explains but nobody has time to read through the whole thing every time they make a digital purchase.
Yeah, but that requires lawmakers to first not take money from these same companies who are implementing these practices.
Been saying it since I popped out the womb, I'm so happy to see more people share this sentiment. It doesn't matter that changing the definition of "buy" is legal when they put a tiny little link to a 30 page document above the big green "purchase" button. The fact that that's legal is the whole problem.
I'm still pissed that they changed the meaning of "lifetime" to 20 years or whatever it is now.
We should hold them to those same standards when they say they have acquired a lifetime / 70 years or so copyright or patent.
