We need to stop calling it "purchasing"
Long term rental or at-will ownership for US people.
We need to prosecute companies (and their executives, personally) who fraudulently misrepresent it as "purchasing."
I think in legal terms it’s even called licensing.
If paying for digital content isn't ownership, then downloading it for free isn't piracy.
