Gov. Newsom signs law forcing digital stores to admit you're buying media licenses only
Briefly

"When a consumer purchases an online digital good like a movie or TV show, they receive the ability to view the media at their leisure. Oftentimes, the consumer believes that their purchase has given them permanent ownership of that digital good...In reality though, the consumer has only purchased a license, which...the seller can revoke at any point."
"This new law will require online stores to disclose you are purchasing licenses for digital games, movies, music, and ebooks, not owning them...The legislation is aimed at ensuring consumers have a full understanding of what they are buying."
