| Soleron said: I agree their policy is as stated. I disagree their policy is legal. I also disagree that what you are describing is 'rental'. 1) Rental implies a fixed termly fee in exchange for being allowed to continue to use what you have bought. 2) This is more like 'buying, but with strings attached'. 3) You own the right to play your game in perpetuity until the service provider finds some reason to take it away. |
It is perfectly legal, unless it gets disputed in court.
1) You just described how digital distribution works in most cases. You will pay a 'termly' fee for the right to use the software. It does not matter if the rental time is a bit longer than usually.
2) If you buy something, it is yours to do whatever you want to do with it. This is clearly not the case with major dd-services, as you already agreed.
3) You just explained how a rent for undefined time works, good job!
