[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1179483, member: 182559"] We understand the concept of licensing perfectly. No degree in law is necessary to wrap one's head around it. As Kash said, perhaps it's a matter of talking in practical vs. theoretical terms. I can't speak for 6string, but all I was getting at, is that while in theory you have the right to the product you purchased a license to, I wouldn't count on walking into an Apple store and getting it free/discounted. In fact, I can all but guarantee you it will not happen. Same as if I walk into Sony BMG or something and ask for the cd I lost/scratched. I guarantee that won't happen, nor will suing them for it get you anywhere. I'm not arguing that in theory perhaps they [b]should[/b]... just that in practice, it's not going to happen. And expecting it to, will just result in disappointment. I'd love to be wrong though! I've lost a lot of stuff over the years I'd love to get back free/cheap :P [/QUOTE]
