is someone who says reasonable things about the stuff we are discussing in this thread.
Maybe, just maybe, if enough cases such as that of the "Norwegian Amazon user" come up, more people will start thinking about what it means to "buy an ebook". |
Doesn't sound all that reasonable to me. Sounds like yet another confused person trying to shove the rules for an intangible item in line with the terms and rules of a tangible item because they can't get their head around the fact that an ebook is different than a physical book, and just because we use a similar vocabulary around them does not change that.
As a wise man said, "If your cat has kittens in the oven, you don't call them biscuits."
Not that I don't agree with what the writer is trying to argue for in terms of rights and uses. I do. But her arguments are totally off the mark.
