Exactly. In what world are some of these commonly understood to be “buying”? It should clearly state the terms under “purchase”. Like, “purchase license”. Not, “buy movie”
@nexus1g
@nexus1g 3 месяца назад
Colloquially, the terms came about because of what it meant for the consumer: Renting a movie meant you have to return the cassette or DVD to the rental store. Buying it meant that you weren't under contractual obligation to return the media in any foreseeable future. This is largely a shift in semantics, because with digital rights management (DRM), what was all but in name owned, can now be easily revoked or changed by the owner of the content. That raises a lot of novel concerns when it comes to consumer rights. And this is bringing to a head a fight that we had decades ago over software EULA's. However, the goal was misplaced. Rather than focusing on rewriting law to better suit modern computer technology to protect consumer rights and also intellectual property (IP), it focused on forcing businesses to stop using a EULA--which would never happen while the laws remained unchanged, and rightly so. Simply, all we need to change in the law to read is that if copying the media is part and parcel to the end-user consumption of the media, it doesn't indicate a rescinding of rights to the IP being copied. There's no need for a EULA at that point. Only then is it time to target companies that continue using a EULA for anything but live services. But at the same time they absolutely deserve to have their IP's protected, so until the law changes, it's only proper for them to use a EULA.

I agree 100%. And for a long time it’s been an ok thing because who cares if millionaires and billionaires aren’t making as much good that they aren’t. And I know digital is the thing now and has been but I think its so much better to buy physical versions like old cds,vinyls,tapes and all that when it comes to music. And best you aren’t supporting big business just some local shop that sells old music. And best part you actually own it a company can’t say you cant listen to it any more because we don’t some other company does. Same thing with film and video games. But when it comes to stuff that’s new or to expensive pirating or emulating is still a great way to go. Sorry if this is to long a read but I think it’s important.

Tell that to the service industry.

But the contract should be written in such a way that people can opt out if they want.
@nezzee

Only thing that comes into play is liability (two parts). Liability where people try to modify their electronics that is still under warranty, break it trying to modify it (possibly due to ESD or busting a capacitor, etc), then try to pass it off as natural failure. Outside of warranty, no issues, but I can see the reason for companies to be hesitant for "home tinkerers". The second liability comes with safety (particularly with new self driving cars). Installing parts incorrectly or cheap parts may cause the car to respond erratically, and then becomes difficult to determine said modification in a car wreck (particularly in electric cars if the battery shorts and then ignites the car). But many other cases (like printers/laptops/etc), it's just a money grab.

They can only void the warranty if they can prove that you damaged the product by modifying it. Here’s an example. Let’s say you upgraded the hard drive and six months later then screen stops working. That would still be covered under warranty but since the consumer protection laws are not enforced in the us the warranty would be void. You might be able to get around these bs policies by putting the original hard drive back in, if there is no warranty sticker but otherwise you could maybe go to small claims, I’m not sure how that works.

See, the difference here is that, if you actually read the license agreement, you'd know that you never owned the game to begin with. Even games on CDs and cartridges are not yours. You merely own the medium, but the software itself is proprietary and comes with an EULA where you agree that you only have a license to use the data. If you OWNED the data, you'd be allowed to do everything you ever wanted with it and the company couldn't do anything to stop you. But since you only have a license to use it under specific conditions, the company can sue you for tampering with the data, copying it or reselling it unless doing so is protected by law - as is the case in the EU, where you're allowed to make back-ups of digital media for personal use.

@@SleepyFen In my country (Germany/EU), the EULA is void because you are forced to agree to it after you bought it, so after the contract has been concluded. We have laws regulating licenses. This is the case even for free software when the EULA isn't signed before the download. Also, in Germany specifically, "surprising ToS" or "ToS that put the consumer at an unfair disadvantage" are prohibited. Your license being revoked because of a contract between two parties ending ticks both those boxes. Digital purchases / licenses can't just be revoked one-sided, not without a proper refund at least.

​@@OtatsukeIt's basically trying to charge you more for something you already own, like additional features. For example, if you buy a brand new BMW, you own the car, but if you spec heated seats, in the past, you would pay for the option once, and it would be fitted for you. Now, it's already fitted in the car regardless, but you have to pay a subscription to use them, despite owning the car. A bit like renting a property back to you, that you already own, hence "rent seeking". It's just a sneaky way of squeezing more cash out of you for the same thing.

If you purchase a license agreement, you never owned the software to begin with. You are illegally obtaining said software if you don't have a license to access it, which is, at the bare minimum, theft of a potential sale causing direct monetary damage to the company. There is plenty of legal precedence for being sued for this.

If a company calls it buying/ purchasing, and refers to "your content", but hides the legalese on page 27 of their EULA, they're not being upfront about what they're providing you. You're being mislead that you're buying or purchasing, like having rights to property that you own. But they can take away said rights, and alter the deal that you can't say no to in any way, or negotiate in any form? Scummy moves that screw the consumer, that companies get away with.

The reality is prices should be drastically lower if they have guaranteed revenue factored in. For games for instance they don’t have to pay shipping, shelving fees, manufacturing fees, material fees, and so on. They only have to pay the free for selling the game on a platform. That doesn’t include the sales they make in game. Point being they have gotten much greedier and we are paying the difference.
