I'd settle for "if they take it away from you, they have to refund it". But the problem with either regulation is the response will be just to stop selling things. Instead they will grant you a 99 year lease or some other such fiction.

If they stop calling it "buying", I would consider it an improvement.

Agreed. Part of the problem is digital goods pretty much never have a right of resale. That's bullshit, particularly for e-Books where the electronic copy often costs more than the resellable paper copy.

In some cases this has been tried in court and the decision has been that a sale is a sale and that you can do what you will with it.
