Ron Wyden asks for rules about whether you own your digital purchases

61% Informative
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) has asked the FTC to require that companies admit when you’re not really buying an ebook or video game.
Frequently, when you buy digital copies of things like movies, games, music, or books, you don’t actually own that thing — just a license to access it.
Wyden wants the guidance to include how long a license lasts, what circumstances might expire or revoke the license, and if a consumer can transfer or resell the license.
