OK, Robert, let's consider the alternatives. When you buy a digital product, you're buying something that's pretty much intangible. You're not buying a physical object. You might say "I'm buying the file", but then if you make a copy of it, it's not the same file any more. So, in practical terms, what is there to buy except a licence which specifies what you're allowed to do with this intangible "thing"?

In what way to you consider licences to be immoral? What moral precepts do they violate?
