    Of course you can actually buy movies, but that involves millions or billions and a lot of contract work.

    Couldn’t you say the same about video games? And you can definitely own your video games, and they’re digital too.

        If I have the files on my own hard drive with no DRM or control on when or how I can play the game, how can you say I don’t own it? What would be the difference between “licensing” and “owning”?

            I can see where you’re coming from - if I sell or give away my copy of the game (like literally I delete my copy and send another copy to someone else), I suppose that isn’t really seen like that from a law perspective? I guess because there’s almost no way to verify that I deleted my copy. I still feel like we should be able to own stuff like that.
