For me, the slippery slope is exactly allowing this sort of transaction to be called "buying".

And yeah, when people lost access to their zune music, or their steam stuff, they did get upset.

Mind you, I would not outlaw the transaction. But calling it a "sale" is false advertising in my book.

I own my Mac. I can do anything I want with it.

How is that not ‘buying’?

Except run software when the server gets a little smokey.

I can’t make pizza with it either. It doesn’t mean I don’t own it.
