    So if we don’t own what we’ve bought, and we don’t even own the licenses under the terms we bought them either, then what exactly are we getting whenever we hand over the money we’ve earned?

    Nothing at all.

    This reminds me of a Puffin browser Pro that used cloud resource to render contents on the phone. It was super fast and isolated from the OS, making it secure. It was a one time purchase with a free version with ads/limited features.

    Then one day, the dev decided there were too many pirates and google wasn’t reliable to check licenses. Then shut down the pro version and started charging a subscription. And started doubling down and insulting users calling them pirates and such.

    Now that their ratings have tanked, I sometimes go back and watch the reviews for the exchange for some laughs.
