The law probably needs changing because there's no real reason for them to be handled different from audio and video recordings, but that is the law at present. |
Sorry, yes I forgot about that - I didn't know that ebooks were considered physical goods. How long is the cancellation period for physical goods bought via 'mail-order' in Britain? In Denmark it's 14 days - but you make it sound like it's only 7 days in Britain? I thought it was EU wide. And yes, I did look at the PDF you link to, but I don't want to spend half an hour reading it all
