I feel like there are a lot of folk who are being wilfully obtuse about the language here. You can hold two opinions at the same time: 1) It sucks that in a digital-only ecosystem your ability to play a game can be taken away 2) I do not legally OWN my games, I own access to COPIES of them

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

I will never argue more controlled access isn’t worse, but lots of people speak about this as though there was an old halcyon era where it was always 100% okay to just upload your Battlestar Galactica DVDs to YouTube, and I think those extreme opinions damage sensible discussion. Maybe deliberately.
