iTunes terms and conditions of use - what we accept when we use iTunes

iTunes Logo

I am extremely sure that very few of you carefully read the terms and conditions of use of iTunes before using the application. I say I'm alone because I don't do it and 99% of users do the same. The terms and conditions for the use of iTunes have 56 pages and no one has the patience to read everything written there, even if some things might not suit you. Those from CNN they chose some very important fragments that show how much Apple can do with the "power" it has over users.

Products may be downloaded only once and cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is downloaded, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage it, and Apple shall not be liable to you if you do so.

Practically any digital content downloaded by us falls under our care, Apple not being responsible for the eventual loss of data. If the user loses everything he bought, then the problem is not the Apple company, but the user who did not take care to save his data.

You agree that the Service, including but not limited to Products, graphics, user interface, audio clips, video clips [and] editorial content … contains proprietary information and material that is owned by Apple and/or its licensors, and is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright.

Worried about data loss? Well, don't be afraid, because if we talk about digital content, then we practically do not own it, but use it under a license. Whether we are talking about a movie, a song or a book, we use that product based on a license we bought from Apple. The company does not sell the product itself, but the license to use it.

Of course, these are just a few examples from the company's long list of terms and conditions, and if we search through the 56 pages, we will surely discover many more problems with the way the company treats us.
