![]() ![]() I suppose as scummy as this appears at first glance it is the way more software is being licenced and most terms of use cover the change in some way, the difference here, as i said, is how vague the licence conditions for this software were on initial purchase and whether the legal system or consumer protection agency (if any) would have an issue with the developers current actions concerning licence changes for existing customers. The only real get out for the developers is if the terms and conditions agreed to upon purchase/ use of the software included a 'get out' clause in effect.Įmails from the developers also seems to be suggesting that they and thier software were responsible for the YouTubers channel growing, so the YouTuber sort of owes them a new collab. This would seem to be covered by advertising laws that state a product should resemble it's advert, ie if a burger shows two strips of bacon in the advert but on purchase only has one strip then that is a big nono (legal term there) unless the advert specificaly states bacon amount is variable. Does the original agreement point these factors out? The main issue I see is that the original product info made no inference that future udates and future upgrades were two different items and relied on two different licence methods, nor does the advert seem to mention a software version number. This is standard practice these days, so no surprise.

A YouTuber known as Daniel Batal, a video editing tips channel, has realized since their new software update that their Lifetime licenses they paid for a few years ago no longer are "Lifetime". Here's his YouTube video explaining what happened if you would rather watch it.įilmora recently released Filmora 12, a new version of their video editing software. ![]()
