Hey, are we all cool with having to buy the same book twice, or what?

[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7986841, member: 6804070"] You probably don't read Software License Agreements / End User License Agreements do you? Or other legal docs that go along with digital content? I don't disagree with you, mind. But I understand that when you purchase something, you may not purchase everything and complete unrestricted access to something. You "buy" a house or a piece of land, you usually don't get the water or mining rights for that piece of property. You "buy" a product at the store does not give you the right to reveres engineer and produce copies of it. You "buy" a book means you have the physical copy, but it doesn't mean you can reproduce or redistribute it. You "buy" a digital product your rights are limited too. If it's important to you, then you should read the legal terms of what you are buying. For instance, Roll20 has this (to me) very important part of it's [URL='https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037254294-Marketplace-Asset-EULA']Marketplace EULA[/URL]; See also section 3.9 and 7.3 (c) for additional clauses that allow your "purchases" to be removed from your use/access. And from the [URL='https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037770793-Terms-of-Service-and-Privacy-Policy#TermsofServiceandPrivacyPolicy-WhoownsOrrGroupmaterials?']Terms of Service;[/URL] All of which is completely reasonable, and probably necessary for a SaaS product. It would be crazy to guarantee perpetual access to something you "buy" from Roll20. Of course, that's for a SaaS product. Fantasy Grounds has no such reasonable restrictions because as a client-server product they don't need it. Read there [URL='https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGKB/pages/359104649/END+USER+LICENSE+AGREEMENT+EULA+FOR+FANTASY+GROUNDS+AND+FANTASY+GROUNDS+UNITY']EULA[/URL]. To me the difference between these two architectures and their licensing was important to me. It was one of the top reasons I chose FG over Roll20. But it might be why you chose a printed book over one of the various digital formats. [/QUOTE]
