It's purchasing ≠ owning, then piracy ≠ stealing
Ok but this isn't purchasing outright it is basically leasing. It says so in the tos. The issue here is ppl don't read tos or they don't care and pay anyway. Ppl like that have zero right to complain.
Lol everyone of you idiots are proving my point and making tons of idiotic assumptions like I'm anti piracy. Y'all need some logic lessons.
I recall a while back someone did a study that there are not enough hours in the day for an average person to actually read all the TOS documents they're expected to agree to. The idea that people can or should be responsible for knowing what's in a TOS is a legal fiction.
Maybe we should get a GPT started to make short and understandable TOS.
