It's true tho, we never owned games, music, or movies on physical media either. We owned the revokable rights to view/use that copy of the media for private usage.
Every teacher that showed a movie in class broke a federal law.
It was just one of those things that was unenforceable and no one understood.
It doesn't mean we should accept not owning media, it just means we have zero chance of fixing it if we never understand it. A purchase should be lifetime usage, regardless of media. What you're buying is a license to view/use it, method doesn't matter.
Like how some people back in the day would only download a movie if they owned the DVD. That should be legal.
But trying to explain that never goes well
