The detailed sourcing directly attacks Sony’s legal claim that a reasonable person wouldn’t expect to own their digital purchases on the PlayStation Store.

Yes, but the restriction on that ownership is the ability to reproduce and sell it. People want the same freedom to keep their copy of it, without access to it because it’s a digital media that only exists in an ethereal form as data on a server, being taken away. We want our copy to actually be ours, physical or not.
I agree it needs new legislation to rephrase all the legalese that confuses the definition of “ownership,” so there is a clear legal distinction between the ownership of the IP and the ownership of a consumer’s purchase of a copy of some media.
