You're confusing the creator with the distributor platform
You don't get to steal from a musician because Sony cheated you
.
> why are we "expected" to honor their copyright
Because you don't want to be a thief
.
> they do not honor their commitments
They do, in fact.
It seems like you just assumed they committed to something they didn't, and are angry now that you've finally read the actual commitment.
.
> what if i honored your copyright as long as it "suited me", then one day it didnt.
Then you'd be a thief who pointed fingers at other people to justify your own choices
>You don't get to steal from a musician because Sony cheated you
elsevier copyrights papers on their own name. should we fuck with them ?

Unironically yes. Fuck Elsevier and what they've done to academic publishing.
Right, or they could offer refunds and it wouldn't be so bad.
This days after Nintendo letting us know they 'are unable (read- unwilling) to offer refunds.
We need consumer protection laws that do something, because since the 1990s businesses have made anti-consumer practices their bread and butter.
They don't fear us, the laws, or government in general. Businesses fucking lie cheat and steal every single day.
