We need legislation, though, to prevent companies from telling people lies. (Though I don't think that
new legislation is needed here)
If people who practice leaping are sold "parachutes" that they find out -just when they need them- not to be actually parachutes, this is not a matter of fine print. It's very big, and very misleading, print.
Just to be extra clear: if Amazon (and its competitors) sell limited licenses to access an ebook, they should call them just that. No "buy the ebook" nonsense. You are not buying an ebook when you click "add to cart".
