    Really, fuck everyone who pushed that circular argument.

    I unambiguously bought Skyrim. Cash money, physical item. Bought a music CD and a paperback book at the same time. I own them all equally. How could I not? No slip of paper inside the book can say I only licensed it, via a contract I didn’t see, through the mechanism of anonymously buying a mass-produced object. Ditto the CD. Ditto any DVD I could’ve bought, when you know the movie industry still wants a dollar every time you play it with company over. Somehow - magically! - software is impossible to buy or sell, because abracafuckyou, it says nuh-uh.
