[xoa]

Article seemed much broader complaints than just purchases, though of course it's second hand reporting of whatever the firm is actually going after. Purchases at least might plausibly represent damages. But I'm still extremely skeptical at this point that the whole "license" thing for software is going to switch back in a highly pro-consumer way. It sounds to me more like something that I (and many others) wish was mandated by law, but isn't. Google's ToS looks pretty normal, and everyone buying from them would be governed by it same as all the other software stores.

I wish them luck on that front at least, and morally it's really shitty for Google not to have a transfer mechanism for going between accounts. It is for Apple and everyone else like that too, absolute bullshit. And if it pressures Google to do the right thing even if they'd win then for once that'd be to the good. But while there is lots of outrage legally I'm still really skeptical.
