Putting analogies aside, as everyone seems to focus on the analogy rather than the actual topic:
Person A made something and is granting access to their creation subject to certain conditions. Person B finds a way to access the creation while circumventing the creators conditions. This is clearly wrong.
- icebraining 15y agoSome conditions are abusive. Try selling a non-perishable product in the EU with the condition that you provide less than two years of warranty and you can have a court telling you that. Of course, this particular conditions are legal, but that doesn't mean they're not abusive too.
- Pheter 15y agoIf you don't like the conditions then you can decline and not have access to the creation.
- icebraining 15y agoAnd if they don't want me to share the content they can not sell it to me.
- Pheter 15y agoWhy do you think it's okay to lie in this situation?
- icebraining 15y agoLie? I didn't lie. They never asked me.
- Pheter 15y agoI might have misunderstood you. Do you mean that if they don't want you to share the content then they shouldn't sell it to you, because you will share it regardless of what the terms of the sale dictate?
- icebraining 15y agoI never agreed to any terms, I don't see why am I expect to respect them.
- jiggy2011 15y agoAt what point is a condition abusive? Usually you can set whatever conditions you like as long as they don't contradict existing laws. If paying for music is so abusive then why not just make your own music instead?
- icebraining 15y agoUsually you can set whatever conditions you like as long as they don't contradict existing laws. What you can is not necessarily what you should be able to do. If paying for music is so abusive then why not just make your own music instead? I never said paying for music is abusive. I said not being able to share stuff you bought - or that someone has voluntarily shared with you - is abusive.
