>apparently software
millions of people rented nintendo/sega cartridges in the nineties. N actually tried suing blockbuster https://www.nintendotimes.com/1989/08/19/nintendo-sues-blockbuster-video-for-copying-instruction-books/ https://www.nintendotimes.com/1989/08/19/nintendo-sues-block... but couldnt on game lending grounds so went for xeroxing manuals. Blockbuster in return switched to third party manuals, but lawsuit failed.
N heavily lobbied for Computer Software Rental Amendments Act, but ultimately failed and games are excluded https://www.congress.gov/bill/101st-congress/senate-bill/198 https://www.congress.gov/bill/101st-congress/senate-bill/198
