So much energy is spent on this shite… They don’t even care to provide service.
They just want to force you into paying them.
Fuck their “property rights”
Yarrr
“Possession is nine-tenths the law.”
And this shit is why.
There is a text book that I want to teach to students, but I can’t just buy it off their website. It’s either out of stock and another one wants me to buy at least 5 copies.
They have a “contact representative” button, but they never get back to me or take really long to do so.
It’s significantly easier to just buy it from an online source that just reprints these books and sells them for half the price. Not that I would ever do that, but I’m just saying.
Only lawyers and politicians would be dumb enough to break DNS
