Comment on Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"

The world is full of bad contracts. It’s truly sad that we decided to accept them without making numerous alterations here and there.

It’s not possible to make changes to a digital contract. The only option is to not make the “purchase” and acquire it elsewhere.

More people should let the service provider know that their contract sucks and that they refuse to pay for the service under the proposed conditions. Most people don’t even read the contract, so I don’t think the situation is going to improve any time soon.
