The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

    Taking a product from the shop without paying and returning the item later is still stealing.

    There was a story on Reddit where man stole a few grands of $ in products over a few years at his local grocery shop, and one day when he wanted to return what he stole he was arrested on site.

      The issue here is that there is a period of time where the shop does not have the item.

        If you are trying to make an analogy to digital copies, this still doesn’t hold water. The copyright holder does not have ownership of your copy.

          The copyright holder should never have ownership of my copy. If I purchase it it should be mine to use. The shop should not be allowed to come to my house and take it away.
