When people say inflation they normally mean CPI which is a poor indicator for inflation and considering it so ignores the time value of money.

Sellers should be forced to label DRM rentals with specific time frames and penalties for violating these time periods.

The way it is done currently assumes the buyer wouldn't have bought something else that would have gained value if they knew the full terms of the sale. Instead they "purchased" an indefinite rental. Imagine if these selling practices where adopted all across the economy. It would be a mess but somehow we tolerate it because the product is digital.
