    I’d be a lot less bothered if the UI for services like Sony didn’t use words like “buy” to describe what customers are doing when they pay for content. It would be a lot more honest to describe it as a rental for an indefinite time period. But of course then very few people would choose that option.

      I agree, it feels like this is a place where the law or regulation needs to come in and enforce something like - rent vs lease vs buy.

      The average consumer thinks “buy” means forever, and that’s just not the case in these scenarios. It really is more like leasing it.
