They own the copyright so, if they choose, they have the right to give you a new copy. Or a new version-but it's their choice, not your right. And then there's the rights they give you under contract law. If they offer the upgrade based on ownership of the a prior version, without specifying that the prior version must still be usable, that's their perogative. AFAIK you have no rights to the upgrade under copyright law, only under contract law. But I could be wrong about that. As always, IANAL. |

Video wasn't except with stupid limits like 'you can copy a tv show' but have to watch it then delete it and other crazy stuff like that, from memory. The actual legislation etc. is online. Very easy to find. |

How much pollution do you think a 2 pound book costs to get mailed from England to the US? I guess we should stop all international mail service in order to prevent this tremendous amount of pollution that you think I created. Lets be honest. You don't like my opinion, so you want to make a BS argument against me. Instead you should try and argue against my actual post instead of attacking me for for false and idiotic reasons. |

Maybe, also there is a cultural difference, but for me, I see this as theft. |

http://translate.google.com/translat...sp&sl=da&tl=en As for 'theft', both our countries recognises this as depriving someone of a physical artifact. Which is obviously not the case with electronic files. It's copyright infringement. Lets call it what it is first. |
