Or just buy from places that can't do that, as per the agreement. Like Steam.
I can see why there is confusion and outrage, given that Funimation used the exact word "forever."
Smells like a lawsuit, but who would get sued? The company that doesn't exist anymore for not supporting it's own agreement?
I believe that the purchasing company adopts the purchased company's contracts. I'm not a layer though.
Are you a cross section then?
Sue them in your local small claims court for breach of contact. They likely won't show and you can get your money back plus punitive damages.
The restrictions
"We may change or discontinue our Service, or your right to access it, in whole or in part. More Our Service is intended for access from and use in the U.S.A."
"Forever, if we feel like it" doesn't really have the same ring to it.
See I just feel like they shouldn't be legally allowed to redefine a word like "forever"
..."with limitations", and if you dig into the terms of use they linked it very clearly states they can revoke access to the content at any time without notice. They are legally covered here by the terms.
Nothing is impossible with enough lawyers. People don’t seem to understand that whatever is true today may not be true tomorrow when it comes to any legal agreement, the only barrier is whether or not the one seeking to change the agreement finds that the legal battle will result in a financially advantageous outcome.
Not throwing shade at Steam, but I’m definitely saying that it doesn’t matter what’s written if they think they can get away with not complying.
Steam can absolutely do that, there are plenty of stories of people having their entire library wiped
TIL: "as per" is redundant.
