    Just cause you paid for something doesn’t mean it’ll be on their servers forever.

    The concept of ‘buy’ is nebulous when it’s something you can’t hold in your hands.

      It’s only nebulous if you listen to lobbyists and corporations. Many people still know what it actually means to buy something.

      No, buy means you own it. If they mean license, they should put that on the button instead of “buy.”

      I don’t think anyone expects them to leave it on their servers forever, but there should be a way for customers to move those purchased products to another system (like a personal computer) for backup.

      It should, provided the company still exists.

      The space is negligible and selling something to customers without a license that permits you to serve them until the end of time should constitute fraud.
