Like I don’t understand why this even became a thing and who even thought of it?
In: Economics
Ownership of the idea or ownership of the specific item? Ownership of the idea comes from the creator and that is their business to sell, lend, or produce more. Ownership of the item is yours to take care of. Don’t lose it or break it because you paid for the item, not the idea.
You can buy a book. You can’t put a new cover on it and sell it as yours. You can buy a transformer truck. You can’t make additional ones out of clay and sell them.
Software is the same idea. You buy access to use the idea, but not ownership of it. Don’t lose the item they give you because that’s the item you paid for. Some sellers are more generous and will let you download new copies if you lose the old one, but that is their choice to offer.
