Shwekey does not have the RIGHT to say you are renting a CD if he prices it the same as a purchase.
Why not?
If they try this “shtick” of rental agreement to keep you from making a copy, then I would boycott any music from this producer.
I would too (and have done so. Well, maybe not a boycott, but I didn’t make the purchase). Most rental agreements, however, exclude anything to facilitate copying for others.
Daas, it’s hard to put a “rental agreement” on the cover. “Reference” to it is insufficient. Unless the entirety of the “agreement” is visible prior to purchase, it is not binding.
They write on the back of the CD that you agree to accept the terms of the rental specified inside. If you’re afraid of their ridiculous demands, don’t “buy” it. Besides, by now we all know goos and well what it says inside.
I don’t think they have a binding method of controlling copying (for yourself) purchased downloads.
