If you don’t retain some kind of actual ownership, they will not be allowed to use terms like “buy” or “purchase” on the store page button. I hope there aren’t huge holes in this that allow bad actors to get around it, but I certainly loathe the fact that there’s no real way to buy a movie or TV show digitally. Not really.

EDIT: On re-reading it, there may be huge holes in it. Like if they just “clearly tell you” how little you’re getting when you buy it, they can still say “buy” and “purchase”.

    The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it

    DRM violates this principle. Atreides forever

      How do you figure? If the DRM depends on them, doesn’t that give them the power to destroy it?

        DRM infected files mean that you as a consumer don’t own anything. As someome else can destroy it.
