Ownership rights on purchased ebooks
I did some looking around the forum and had little luck finding the answer I'm looking for. I'm sure this topic has come up before. Maybe someone can direct me to the thread.
I'd like to know my ownership rights on my purchased Logos books and resources. Do I actually own any of these books? If this was true, you'd think you'd be able to sell them freely, but this doesn't seem to be the case.(Can you say you actually own something if you can't sell it?)
If Logos was to ever go out of business (though this seems highly unlikely) would I still be able to use Logos 4? This idea scares me. I can't imagine investing thousands of dollars on e-books, only to have them be useless 10 years down the line. I want them for life if I bought them.

What makes you think you can't sell it? There is a fee for transferring the license so think of it like selling a car and transferring the title.

As long as you own a machine on which it will run you'd be able to use it. You'd have to do your own backups.

This is what Rosie said in another thread:

The only time you're not allowed to transfer a license is if you bought something as part of a larger package. Because you still own the package, which gives you access to that item. So if you "sold" one book out of it to someone else, then two people would have access to it. So you can only sell things as you bought them -- individual titles that you bought by themselves, or bundles, or your base package if you're deciding to sell Logos altogether or downgrade to a lesser package.
I guess the analogy with cars breaks down here, because you can sell parts of your car.

Joshua, you will probably find this post ( http://community.logos.com/forums/p/3532/27361.aspx#27361 ) by Bob Pritchett to be illuminating on this topic.
