Sounds like a lawsuit to me.
Doubtful. TOS would state that you're only licensing the media. If the media no longer exists, the license no longer exists.
Day 10,490 of saying it should be flatly illegal to call a lease a purchase. Companies should never be allowed to use language that implies ownership of a product when what you're buying is a permanently revokable temporary lease.
"But it's in the TOS, what they're doing is perfectly legal" yeah the problem is that it's legal
If only.
Good luck with that one.
Easiest class action lawsuit
Yeah you bought the right to use their license and to pull it off their servers as long as they exist. You still have that, nothing changed in that regard.
But yeah it's a problem that buying digital stuff doesn't really mean anything.
