this contradiction always confused me. either way the official company is "losing a sale" and not getting the money, right?

That's software, and frankly until you can transfer a played game to somebody else in Steam, it's not something that is enforced.

They cannot "oppose it" according to that, but you cannot do it.

But buying a digital movie from Amazon or Sony? They can take that away. Haven't heard a peep from the EU on it.
