Life is Unfair for Hotmail Buyers of DRM5 ebooks
Hotmail-Passport-DRM5-your eBooks-$19.95/year
Think of this scenario:
you need to buy DRM5 ebooks...
Then it ask you to activate your ebook reader...
You go to passport.com, and ahhh, the computer is smart, it still remember you have your hotmail account sometimes ago...
Your passport now activated your reader with your hotmail account...
Life seems so simple, thanks Microsoft...
You download your ebook, and how easily you can read it, no tech complexity...
Then you change your active email because too many junk mails in hotmail...
You never log in your hotmail account for more than 1 month...
Your account is deleted...
Someone else might taken your hotmail account???
How about all those ebooks that were being activated with your hotmail account???
Life started to get complicated.
You starting to hate Hotmail...
When your read you expired hotmail account (luckily no one steal the account yet)
19.95 per year, you'll get:
* No Account Expiration Shouldn't be your paid ebooks has unlimited expiration?
* Log in to your MSN Hotmail account whenever you want. You’ll never have to worry about losing your account, regardless of how often you sign in.
or
MSN Hotmail offers 2 megabytes (MB) of storage space, the ability to send or receive 1.0 MB attachments, and virus scanning for free accounts. If you do not keep your account below the 2 MB storage limit, MSN Hotmail may remove some messages and their attachments. Messages and attachments removed by MSN Hotmail cannot be recovered. You also must log in every 30 days or your account will be marked 'inactive' and all e-mail, addresses, and folders will be deleted.
I know someone has to make money with the internet, but downloading your premium ebooks and activated them with hotmail using the DRM5 created by Microsoft (which adding the cost of the ebooks), then asking people to pay $19.95 again / year seems unfair.
Well that's what Mr. Gates said Life is unfair...
