Editing Introduction to a Self Managed Life: a 13 hour & 28 minute presentation by FUTO software (section)

=== A History of Anti-Consumer Behavior ===

Because consumer protection in the United States is a joke, they are allowed to redefine the meaning of a 14th century word to justify taking away your personal property without refunding your money.

If they were honest, they would put this ''“new”'' definition of the word ''“purchase”'' on their front page next to the '''“Add to cart”''' button. '''''They don’t do that.''''' They hide it on page 21 of a legalese terms of service they know damn well you will never read.

They know what it would do to their sales if they said ''“purchase actually means we can take it back from you at any time without refunding you”'' in the same font size they use next to the '''“Add to cart”''' button. They’re not.

This is the same company that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal installed malware &amp; rootkits on people’s computers when they legally paid for content] that expects you to be an honest upstanding citizen who buys content &amp; allows them to take it back.

Right.
