if my property can be taken without fair compensation so can theirs.
pretty cut and dry logical relationship.
I think we're talking about two different things here.
I agree that they have shitty predatory business practices. However, you did not sign an EULA saying that you could take their property. So even if they do take the things you bought from them away, you would be out of luck. The thing that needs to change is not allowing that to be classified as "buying".
What I'm talking about is "if buying isn't owning" having anything to do with "then piracy isn't stealing". Buying not being owning is a great reason to pirate. Still doesn't make piracy any more legal.
I see where you're coming from now and totally agree.
Whenever a concept is distilled to a catch phrase it always loses something.
Yeah that's true. I have no creative bone in my body so I can't even offer an alternative to the catch phrase I am calling out, unfortunately haha
