      You can buy a lot of things that aren’t tangible. The entire service industry is built on that concept.

        No you’re getting confused. You cannot purchase a service. You can pay for a service, but once you quit paying the service goes away. If you purchase, say, a DVD. It is yours. You own it. The company cannot come and take it from you. They cannot dictate how you use it.

          This is a nonsensical argument man. People generally purchase services with contracts. It is most assuredly a purchase. No amount of wordplay is going to make you right. This isn’t a schoolyard, and clever interpretations don’t mean anything in the real world

          Also any DVD you purchased, ever, most assuredly has rules on what you can do with it. Copyright does not cease to exist because you bought a disk.

            How is your argument any less nonsensical? You’re wrong. Objectively. Full stop. The fact you’re going on and on about it doesn’t matter. You do not own a service. You cannot own a service. I’m sorry that you need to argue and be right to feel something in your life, but this time you’re wrong, bud.
