I like the sound of a new law in California about the sale of digital goods. Companies won't be allowed to say they're "selling" a digital thing to someone if the buyer doesn't fully own it. You'd need to be able to download it and always access it, so the seller can't remove it from your personal library, etc. I'm very curious how this plays out with digital restrictions management (DRM). Should be a consumer-rights law everywhere.

I occasionally find myself in discussions with people that say they've bought such and such but then I think, not exactly... you only sort of rented it. Also, internal monologue, when I've payed for a video from Google's (formerly known as) Play store.
Long overdue. Why can't we have a law that goes something like, "Contracts or agreements which redefine words are null and void." ?
