No, I bought THE ITEM. After paying, I was given a digital file to download to my computer, and only THEN could I open and read those comics. I didn't buy a license to access, I bought a FILE.

Please go and inform yourself about digital licenses.

You did not buy the item. There IS no item. You bought a license to access that file. If you access that file (be it on your computer or otherwise) should that license be revoked, you are breaching the terms of your purchase agreement.

The other anon is right: you can't buy online media, you can only buy the right to access to it and only in the way they want you to access to it.
(Do you know some ebooks include protections not just so it can't be copied but to prevent the use of text-to-voice software? Because screw people with disabilities, they can buy access to the more expensive audiobook instead.)

That is incredibly gross to me. Like, obviously I was woefully ignorant, and I'm sorry to have been an ignorant dumbass but... EURGH. Preventing text-to-voice? That's just being a total dickbag.

Part of it is I sell my own ebooks, and it never occurred to me that I was doing anything other than... well, selling digital equivalents of the paper comics. Like, I heard about the Amazon thing, but I thought it was totally disgusting.

Just... ugh. UGH. Thanks for the explanation, just UGH.
