even though (I think) I 100% agree with that article, I'm not sure it is sound. one can buy the right/rights to something "for X amount of time" or on "Y amount of devices" (what is known as a "lease", sometimes), but the "legal" gobbledygook specifies that what one is "buying" is limited to/by certain conditions. Like leasing a car. I think (but am not positive) that is how Apple ideologically reframed the way they "license" music/media consumption through iTunes? And also how, following in Apple's footsteps, how Google started "loaning" content (movies on YouTube) that are available for 48 hours after the "purchase"
