  • Contractual obligations cannot override laws does not mean the law is not legally binding.

    I think this is the one time I can pull out my fancy word knowledge and say: this is a non sequitur.

    Also my original comment intended to point out the flaw in the above commenters argument (which argued that you can sue games companies that sell you digital games and then revoke licenses).

    Other than that, I agree with you.

    I don’t think you know what legally binding means. By your definition laws are also not legally binding because they can’t make you do anything; they can only tell you what will happen if you break them.

    You’re right in that no contractual obligation can override your rights (and their obligations). Nevertheless the breadth of the things to which you can give consent to (often unknowingly) is wild.




  • Are you trying to learn how this works or just need a landline?

    Both. I have only one ISP which maybe offers (there is some contradictory wording on their site) landlines for consumers. And they charge outrageous prices for a service which would be used at most once a day for a couple of minutes.

    But if you say it’s tough to pull of for a noobie then I’ll look for other solutions.
