Ah so if I go rent a Lamborghini for a day that means I own it and don’t have to give it back?

If you buy a Lamborghini and they have the ability to later decide you don't actually own it and take it away, that's the equivalent. I don't know why you brought up renting. Renting was never mentioned.

If you knew anything about digital purchasing you’d understand why u brought it up.

When you “buy” a digital tv show or movie you’re not actually buying it, you’re purchasing a license to use it, a license that can be revoked, for content that can be removed.

I swear most people have no idea how digital ownership works. I expected more from people on here at least.

We know how it, by your definition, "works." That's the problem.
