It's my belief we need a comprehensive set of digital consumer rights enshrined in law. Things like the ability to resell used licenses, create player-owned servers for abandoned games, and "service expiration guarantees" printed directly on the packaging for all products that rely on external servers stating a minimum time period for which the manufacturer is legally bound to support that product. Things like what Google did to its Revolv customers should never be allowed to happen.

For example, if required by law to continue to support access to content sold for a period of time it could change the liability math for companies and lead to less DRM in many cases.
