    if owning a product is based in ownership of the product and buying proves ownership then, you can’t own their product by “buying” their product when they can revoke your ownership anytime.

    so, if you can’t buy the product and can’t own the product, you can’t steal the product because they never gave you possession of it.

    they didn’t lease me the use of the product according to the law, they sold it to me. from a legal perspective, there are contracts, signatures, and other documents that must be filed for every lease to determine the structure of the lease. TOS is not a binding contract strong enough for leases.

    funny thing, that’s one of the fights going on right now with companies like Disney and Doordash. their argument that the victim agreed to their (broad) TOS, releases them of any legal liability.

    should the corpos win those cases, TOS for the most mundane bullshit will likely end terribly for consumers.
