You don't own the software on the device, they do. If they choose to revoke that license, that is their choice. | ||

Well, no. You can't just revoke a license. As far as owning the software in the device, I works would argue that you do own a copy of it. I'm sure there is some buried tos claiming you just own a license to run it, and I know this is still being litigated. But when the average person purchases someone their expectation is that they've purchased it, not licensed it. | ||

In EU you have the right to use bundled software as long as you own the appliance. Not sure this is true for US. | ||

I own the device and all of its storage. The exact state of that storage is my business and precisely no one else's. | ||
