Sony Tells Courts Any ‘Reasonable Customer’ Knows Digital Purchases Are Actually Licenses

Massachusetts foster parents lose license after refusing to properly care for LGBTQ+ youth

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/news/foster-parents-lose-license-lgbtq

Производители десктопного #ПО по подписке иногда продают fallback #license при оплате за год - типа эта версия будет с тобой даже после прекращения оплаты подписки, но дальше ты не обновишься, пока не заплатишь. А пока платишь - вот тебе апдейты, фиксы и багтрэкер.
Пришла в голову идея как им поднять продажи, продавая не поддержку, фиксы и фичи, а легализацию. Что если продавать уценённую версию прошлого года? Скажем, в два раза дешевле. А позапрошлого - в четыре. Казалось бы те, кого отпугивают цены (пользователи #DAW и #IDE меня поймут) и которым последние фичи некритичны, но важны принципиальные возможности про-версий (работа с БД, шаблонами итд итп) - снимут пиратскую шляпу. Никакой поддержки, апдейтов, скидок на апгрейд лицензии - что купил, тем и пользуешься.
Почему же так не делают? Потому что поддержки фактически в подписочном ПО нет. Есть бета-тестеры которые сообщают о багах; те баги, которые мешают продавать новые подписки, исправляют. А то что лично тебе одному неудобно и это затрагивает меньше одного процента пользователей...
