I fully agree with this lawsuit. I felt OK with "purchasing" movies from Apple at the Blu-Ray retail price, because I was under the impression that my files remain mine so that if I backup them correctly, I can watch the movie later.
By now, I know that this isn't the case. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have paid full price for a limited digital copy. Instead, I would have purchased the Blu-Ray which - if you treat it well - will last far longer than my digital movies did, despite backups and stuff.
If I put money in a bank, it is fungible; I can move it to another bank, another account, another person.
If I buy a license to play a video game on Steam, I only own that license on Steam with one account (with some exceptions and provisions for gifting etc).
If I buy a license to for a movie on iTunes, I only own that license on iTunes tied to one account.
Will consumers band together and demand that their media licenses be fungible?
In other words, how many things are 'accidental banks'
