> And the owning was always about owning the rights to consume some product within some framework You missed the point. There is not supposed to be a "framework" when it comes to personal use. When you buy a CD, you can copy it to all of your personal devices, archive it, and listen to it unrestricted at any time, at any geographical location until the end of time. You can transcode it, remix it, or edit it for your personal enjoyment. You own your personal copy and you can do with it as you wish. These are things that you're lawfully allowed to do with your licensed copy, if it wasn't for digital distribution and DRM which are now adding restrictions that can permanently revoke your rights to access the media at any time.

You can transcode it, […] Unless you're in the UK, where as far as I've gathered there's no right for private format shifting, so ripping your own CDs is technically illegal. Or unless you're talking about books and live in Germany, because there books have been excepted from the right to full private copies beyond limited excerpts (unless it's an out-of-print work) and the law was never updated to deal with digital books, so technically I'm not allowed to keep multiple copies of the same digital book on the various different devices I own (plus their backups).
