However, if Scribd removed the PDF files I've downloaded and paid for or if Scribd.com closed down tomorrow, would I still be able to open the PDF files?  |
A subscription means you have permission to access those files as long as you have the subscription; you'll lose the right to access them if you end the subscription. You didn't pay for those files, because you didn't purchase them; you purchased the subscription, which allows you to view them. No subscription grants you permanent access. To have permanent access to a book/file, you must purchase that book or file, not the subscription to view it.
