Right. The issue here is that since you are granted a license to view the book on a supported device, they could terminate your license at any time which would impose an obligation on you to cease viewing said book on your owned device since the license has been revoked. Obviously no one is going to knock on your door. But, legally speaking, you would be violating the license agreement and Amazon could seek penalties.Yeah I know about the Limitations, etc. That kind of stuff also applies when you buy regular books, music, movies, etc. That's all copyright infringement stuff.

That's when the press stops being called "free."Weird, so making a statement that besmirches the owner of the business you work for may not be seen as acceptable by some. Who knew?
No, that’s not what that means at all.That's when the press stops being called "free."
Regardless of who owns it, the owners are free to place whatever limits they like on the content their employees produce.How can a “news outlet” “Speak truth to power,.” when it us is owned by the second wealthiest person in the world?

The LA Times owner is having issues with his employees disagreeing with his stance of bringing in more centrist and right leaning voices to the paper.Indeed. There's a bit more of this kind of editorial micromanagement coming from both Bezos and Soon-Shiong (LA Times owner), with some people leaving in protest. I imagine it's going to be rough seas for OpEd writers if they have to worry about pieces that are critical of the incoming president when the aforementioned owners seem interested in avoiding conflict with the new administration.
...and more meddling in the editorial aspect of the paper, which has been the bigger row.The LA Times owner is having issues with his employees disagreeing with his stance of bringing in more centrist and right leaning voices to the paper.
Everyone has a boss. The boss gets to set the tone of the organization. If you disagree, you can either try to convince your boss to change his mind or go somewhere that suits you better. Trying to expand the consumer base for the LA Times sounds like a good strategy to me....and more meddling in the editorial aspect of the paper, which has been the bigger row.
Sure, and that's what's happening. Whether or not that's going to expand the base is a tough question to answer since baked into it is the polarized nature of media, so those who expect the paper to align with their view of the world might make the same decision to go elsewhere. The issue here isn't that "everyone has a boss", but that the traditional role of newspaper owners has changed in these two papers.Everyone has a boss. The boss gets to set the tone of the organization. If you disagree, you can either try to convince your boss to change his mind or go somewhere that suits you better. Trying to expand the consumer base for the LA Times sounds like a good strategy to me.
Just remember that if you ever collect government benefits of any kind (or if you already have....)Because FREEDUMB FRUM SOSHULIZM is more important!
Political Cartoonist vs. Political owner. Ownership of the Fourth Estate?... Bezos delivered the Washington Post to the realm of Fox News. Glad the cartoon in question got a good airing.Weird, so making a statement that besmirches the owner of the business you work for may not be seen as acceptable by some. Who knew?
The Fourth Estate has always had private owners. Not sure what point you’re trying to make.Political Cartoonist vs. Political owner. Ownership of the Fourth Estate?... Bezos delivered the Washington Post to the realm of Fox News. Glad the cartoon in question got a good airing.
There was a time newspapers were privately owned to report the news. Now news media is privately owned to report an agenda.The Fourth Estate has always had private owners. Not sure what point you’re trying to make.
Freedom of the press until the owner doesn't like it. He would have displayed twice the integrity and backbone by allowing it. This makes him look like a p***y.Weird, so making a statement that besmirches the owner of the business you work for may not be seen as acceptable by some. Who knew?
Ditto, and I feel the same about WaPo now.He's lowered himself right down there with Elon. I have lost all respect I once had for him.
There was a time newspapers were privately owned to report the news. Now news media is privately owned to report an agenda.
It’s the same now as it ever was. There is no “golden age” of newspapers where there were no agendas and the owners had no input. The difference is is it’s someone like Jeff Bezos who is apparently hated by so many.There was a time newspapers were privately owned to report the news. Now news media is privately owned to report an agenda.
Walk is still free to print whatever they like, so long as the owner agrees. Which means it’s exactly the same as it’s been since its founding.Freedom of the press until the owner doesn't like it. He would have displayed twice the integrity and backbone by allowing it. This makes him look like a p***y.

Wrong again. Business as usual for you.You guys think "no paywall."
