Book writers and software developers, hardware makers, etc use to think that they should charge for the work they’ve already done. The content/product comes *as is*, and when we need update we must pay again for it.

I don’t demand to have free updates forever, but at least for some reasonable time, so that what I bought doesn’t get outdated and I have to buy it again every year.
