Daas, so if after you open the package it states that you just agreed to turn over any real estate you own to the producers, its binding? If not, on what halachic basis are any of the terms binding?
You know that’s a ridiculous argument. The rental agreement only limits your use of the CD, it has no external clauses (and the most it could do anyhow would be disallow use of the CD, not obligate you to turn over your real estate).
The question is also if its right for the producer to not let you copy for yourself when he dosent have any lost, isn’t that midas sdom?
First of all, they claim you should buy another copy. Secondly, even if it was midas sdom, do you think that would invalidate the rental agreement and convert it to a sale, or otherwise remove the limitation?
I happen to agree that it’s unfair to limit in such a way, but it’s not worth being oiver on g’neiva (or even a chashash) on principle.
