You basically have to go without any entertainment if you don't like the their terms because they're everyones terms. Of course they don't go out of their way to explan this to you when you purchase rent from them. Why is everyone assuming I'm trying to rip the mega corporations off here? I buy my stuff I don't try to distrubute copy of their stuff. I just want the freedom to share, trade and back-up something that I payed for ownership of. |
I don't think anybody has issues with the back up something part. I think people are getting mad at you over the share/trade part. If you want to share, that means you actually give them something and then they give it back to you when they are done. That is sharing. Trading is you giving somebody something and they giving you something in return. Thats trading.
When you give somebody a copy of something you have bought and you retain the full version, that is distributing. Did the person you gave it to pay for it? Why should they be able to get a free copy? and how does the people that made the product get compensated for their hard work when that happens?
So, basically, you already have the ability to share and trade with people. The only thing you can't do is back it up.
