Are you seriously arguing that ToS somehow override laws?

Since you're not a lawyer (your words) and seem to care about US laws (I don't), I am not sure what's the point of this response to a topic about digital purchases in the EU.

The confusion in this conversation seems to be centered on the difference between US and EU law. In the EU, Steam may have to change the wording on the "buy" button. It will be interesting to see.

In the US it is legal to have a "buy" button that actually purchases a longterm revocable license. I don't like it, but thats how it works on this side of the pond.

Fair enough. I think the "buy" text issue was somewhat resolved a while ago here in the EU. Yes, you may not own the game but do purchase non-revokable licence. Was it based on German law? Don't remember
