On the other hand I've rolled thousands of joints on book covers, album covers, even CD covers, and I used to store them in an empty cassette case in my pocket to prevent squishage. So at least there's that. Not so easy to do on a *.pdf or a *.mp3 (ok mp3s are FINE!) Paper books make better fly swatters than tablets. One more reason to keep paper stuff around.

Mlle. Zabzie Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Honestly, this isn't really a surprise. You bought a prepaid, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable (likely) sub-license to intellectual property. You just bought a different thing than when you bought a DVD, but you didn't think too hard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seli Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Not unexpected behaviour by Apple, but I have been lucky so far. I have bought content (games, ebooks) from distributors that have lost the right to sale. But I think I still have access to all of those. But there are reasons I want to be able to actually download books and music I buy. Partly because stores have disappeared on me in the past, but mostly because it is too much of a hassle to keep track of what I bought where.

Tears of Lys Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Apple has always reminded me of a big, fat dragon sitting atop his hoard of gold - somewhat cool, but don't trust it. It'll turn around and burn your ass every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
