What the retailers really want is the ability to make you think at the time of "sale" that you are buying the content. Then after they have your money, be able to say... just kidding, it's only a license.

So far, the government doesn't seem to be very impressed with that line of reasoning, and I don't think this particular case invalidates that.

I never said the government would buy that line of reasoning but when has that ever stopped anyone?

Any time the ninth circus issues a ruling on any matter, I wait until the adults over them review and correct their work if needed.

They have been so off in their own little world for so many decades that it isn't worth the effort to see if they got one right on the first try or not.
