But aren't you obligated to read the licencing terms after you have brought it. As you are installing it the agreement appears and you have too accept those terms too continue the installation :
That's what they try to tell you, but I don't think it would stand up in court. It should be made clear BEFORE payment is made.

We have to remember that it is American companies like Microsoft and Adobe that make the running here, and integrity is a term quite foreign to them. They do what they can get away with.

I agree George thier integrity is zero and i am not supporting them but how do these companies protect there businesses from pirates without having to resort to contracts and lawyers for every piece of software they sell too any Joe on the street.
Its a difficult business to protect but I don't think they can rely on vendors to pass on licensing terms to every customer that walks in the door
Perhaps if they halve the price of all thier software, they would sell 3 times the amount of product and people won't be so eager to pirate it.

I have the chance to buy a secondhand one. Is it as good a lens as I hope?
