I cannot read my E-Book from Borders unless I'm logged in
with their library. Is it legal this constraint?
When I bought my E-book from Borders web site, it says that
it will be downloaded on my laptop [I choose that option].
It also downloaded a software that it was required in order
to read it, but never thought it needs to connect online in
order to access the copy of the book I bought. It seems like
I bought a book that I never took with me home and the only
way I can read it is by going to the store. Or better,
imagine you download a song that you need to sign in online
with your "media player" in order to listen to it and be at
the mercy of a connection. Where is the transfer of property
for the copy I pay? I would like to know what forum should I
bring this matter. I don't know if an issue like this is
cover under the Electronic Commerce Act and if the FCC or
Federal Trade Commission have any say on this matter. Could
this be a matter that needs to be dealt at the Federal
Court? Any legal opinions will be appreciate. Thank you in
advance!!!
