Digital goods are not the problem. DRM is. Direct your outrage appropriately.

Eh, digital goods are still a problem. For exactly the reasons stated above. Resale/gifting of used copies becomes more difficult and often impossible. Your digital library can be taken away from you at any time, with no recourse.

Correct. Digital goods with DRM cannot be owned by definition. Its a remote killswitch whenever they like. They should be banned from using the word purchase or buy on those products. They should be forced to use the words “acquire revokable licence”

If someone else is storing the digital copy for you, on a system you don’t control, it’s not “ownership”.
