How does consumer ownership of digital media work?

1.74K views

I am trying to physically backup all of my media and couldn’t find any of the videos I BOUGHT from Google Play. Best I can tell is this is done on purpose to force me to use Google Play. That got me wondering. Do I own the videos or just access to them? If Google suddenly went under, do they owe me my movies? What’s the deal, friends?

In all likelihood, you dont own the videos, you’re purchasing the right to view them. Much like how you don’t own what you “purchased” from iTunes.
