“rent/buy”
You mean rent for x amount of time, or rent for an undetermined amount of time.
We don't do 'buy' anymore, that's just rent without knowing when your rental is over.
Question free returns as in even if you're clearly in the wrong; purchased an item, throughly destroyed it, returned for a full refund. The seller gets to shut up and eat that cost because amazon already gave the customer their money back and isn't interested in hearing your claim as a seller.
This is why you can only find random ass bramd names you've never heard of throughout 99% of Amazon. Seller's refuse to be treated this way. (or at least anyone with anything actually worth purchasing)
Sure, but the question free returns are a big part of why no (well, very few) decent brands can be found on Amazon anymore.
Anyone with actually good products doesn't have the profit margins to be forced into accepting obviously unacceptable returns. (eg customer returns item they clearly broke, gets full refund, retailer is stuck with it). They also have good enough products that they don't have to put up with Amazon to reach the masses, they can sell anywhere else.
I may only have a license to view the contents of a dvd, but at least I'll always be able to view it as long as it's in my possession and I have a dvd player.
Content you can only access remotely via someone else systems (or requiring remote authorization via there systems) can be taken away at anytime regardless of the terms of your license, even supposedly "indefinite/permanent/lifetime" licences.
Both of these items use the same term 'purchase'. This term used to refer to the first situation only, but now it covers both.
Changing Operating Systems is obviously impossible, toss em all in the trash...
I'm not even the person who insulted you
I'm aware, the reply was still directed at you.
You've clearly already checked out
Yup, that's what I just said.
maybe don't partake in conversations you're not going to bother to even pay attention.
You're the third party entering the thread I created and a conversation I was having with someone else, long after I've clearly checked out.
Maybe don't involve yourself in other people's conversations and then expect their full attention.
If the estate had gone after the author, this would be a very different conversation; but that's not what happened. The author chose to involve Tolkiens estate, knowing the current climate around copyright.
I struggle to find sympathy for that.
Then you add on direct personal insults instead of constructive conversation and I completely check out. It's not worth my energy to have a discussion with such people.
... Did you just stop at the title?
There's like 25 paragraphs detailing the whole situation. Only thing really missing is the footage NYT supposedly saw.
Lmao, I don't even like Tolkiens work...
Nor do I agree with copyright law.
However; simply disagreeing with reality doesn't change it.
But; go ahead and continue to personally attack strangers on the internet instead of actually working towards the change you want to see. I'm sure it'll be effective.
He explicitly sued Tolkiens estate. Effectively the same.
Your semantics aren't appreciated.
Get out. ->
