I'll attribute it to the lateness of the hour and trust you'll see the error of your ways in the light of day.
Good day, and I hope your hangover is mild.  |
I don't drink actually. I've never had the habit really and with Type 1 Diabetes it would be a very bad idea anyway. And I did qualify my post by admitting that what would seem to be common sense isn't always what the law says. I wager the argument will last as long as digital media (of any sort) exists. I know what was posted earlier. I was merely pointing out that the DVD/CD disk is the means by which the digital media is distributed. The companies that sell them provide that service. If someone mops your floor for your company they are said to be providing a service but that service deals in a physical manner since your floor is mopped. It's hard to separate one from the other I think with ebooks too. Even though they are selling you only the digital media (or rather the link you need to download it) the actual book file is still stored on physical media. Either without the other won't work. I don't expect the law to change or agree with me though. I know that's a lost cause.
