California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it

"California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law (AB 2426) to combat “disappearing” purchases of digital games, movies, music, and ebooks. The legislation will force digital storefronts to tell customers they’re just getting a license to use the digital media, rather than suggesting they actually own it."

A quotation from McCracken, Elizabeth

Library books were, I suddenly realized, promiscuous, ready to lie in the arms of anyone who asked. Not like bookstore books, which married their purchasers, or were brokered for marriages to others.

Elizabeth McCracken (b. 1966) American author
The Giant’s House [Peggy] (1997)
