It’s just the one that’s relevant to this discussion, in this thread, on this forum. And sorry, but I don’t think that access to real goods instead of digital licenses is a trivial matter. Maybe this specific instance of it isn’t a huge deal, but that’s the reason for the frog metaphor. It is one more small bleed among a million, and we’re already at the point where we don’t actually own most of the things we pay for, because people tolerate small bleeds.Nobody is suggesting hoarding print media until you run out of space and have to throw it out. But if I buy a book, and I reach the point where the townhome I pay the owner of for the privilege to continue living in doesn’t have enough space, I should have the option of what to do with that book. Throw it out, donate it to a book drive, sell it, whatever. We should demand to actually own the things we buy.</blockquote>
