SaaS: Own vs Lease

[August1991]

SaaS refers to software as a service.

You don't own, you lease.

Like renting, you pay for the use of the software. You don't own it.

I own my home in  Montreal; I think, until the Supreme Canada decides aboriginals own it.

But do I own the air above me?

Or how about the land below?  If there is shale oil, can I sell it?

Apple changes its software so people buy its "new" hardware.

Google monetizes its search engine - and enshittificates the Internet.

Microsoft charges for its service.

Facebook spends billions on a wacky facescreen - that no one uses.

MAFIA-G.
