Ahhh... but read the fine print. You didn't "buy" it. You licensed its use.

Again, we have something that is bordering on fraud. If I purchase something, I have a certain set of rights. If I license something, I have less rights (mostly limited by the license agreement).

But if a license is represented as a purchase, isn't that fraud?
