Sony is facing a $7.9 billion lawsuit that could impact over 9 million players. They’ve been accused of deleting purchased movies, TV shows, and games—items customers thought they owned forever.

Maybe one day enough younger people will be in elected that understand computers aren't magic. There's no fundamental difference between selling a DVD and a digital movie, from a legal perspective.

Ironically, from what I can see, the younger generation understands even less about computers. It's like everything is so simple to use (smartphones, consoles, tablet) that they no longer need to understand the technology behind it.
