You Don't BUY Digital Media - You Only Lease It

This thread brings up an important concept. We have become a Renter Society, rather than an Ownership Society.

Some things that used to be owned, but are no longer:

• Movies - if they are a digital stream, they are RENTED
• Music
• Cars
• Housing - condos, most senior housing, homes with HOAs - in every case, your absolute right to do with your possession as you wish has been restricted. If senior housing, you cannot deed it to your inheritors, if they are not of senior age. They have to sell it upon inheritance.

Our society has become a fully consumer society, that no longer takes possession, and uses the resource as they will. They have become a society that must ask permission of their overlords to use the property they paid for.
