It would all be fine if instead of "buy", the big yellow button said "License indefinitely, revocable at any time by us or by the people licensing it to us for any or no reason. If you download it, we reserve the right to reach into your device and delete it when we're done licensing it to you."

But people would probably be less likely to push the button, so I guess it's better to lie to customers about what they're paying for.
