but your paying for the live interaction, the continued opperation so that a completely bullshit analogy and you know it.
IT not static content, it the live interact you are paying for, and oh yea if you cancel your subscription to WOW you can still play it offline so even on that point your arguement is BULLSHIT.

and you follow it up with that line... but if I choose to double or triple or quadruple bill for my product - that is fully my right - if the customer doesn't like it - they can buy somewhere else? and if my TOS says I 'rent' the viewing for a 30 day period - if you don't like it - buy somewhere else - is that not exactly how the free market system we enjoy is supposed to work?
you can't TOS away fair use, you agreed to them to get exclusive rights as a copyright holder, if you don't honor them you are in breach of your agreement with the government don't have those exclusive rights anymore.

inevitably followed by that line...

all the law I've read applies to PRIVATE backup and timeshifting - I don't argue that it is provided for - we all don't like the fact that it is publically accessable - there is no need for that under the provisions of the present laws - there are perfectly acceptable alternatives that are private for you to use.


so show us all where any law gives you or anyone else the 'right' to lifetime 'viewing rights' or 'listening rights' or 'reading rights' once you have paid once.


hmmm?...
well i have pointed out those laws to you specifically multiple times, the supreme court just recognized timeshifting in a cloud (and yes a portion of that cloud was the public internet)
so the only reason your not aware of those case is becuase you chose to ignore those cases.
