If you're lied to about a "sale" and it's really just a shitty rental, we have a different word for that: FRAUD.

And the action that Sony hacked devices and removed said content? It mirrors the individual form of this ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38614624 ), which is "horribly illegal". I argue it pales in comparison to Sony's actions.

It shouldn't be legal for a transfer of a revocable license to be described as "buying".
