California's new law goes after 'disappearing' digital media
Briefly

"As retailers continue to pivot away from selling physical media, the need for consumer protections on the purchase of digital media has become increasingly more important. I thank the Governor for signing AB 2426, ensuring the false and deceptive advertising from sellers of digital media incorrectly telling consumers they own their purchases becomes a thing of the past."
"The legislation will force digital storefronts to tell customers they're just getting a license to use the digital media, rather than suggesting they actually own it."
"Storefronts will have to tell customers they're getting a license that can be revoked as well as provide a list of all the restrictions that come along with it."
"Forcing storefronts to disclose that they're just selling licenses won't stop them from taking away digital purchases, but it will at least make people more aware that what they're buying can be taken away at any time."
