I agree that since video game companies have never enforced this law its pretty stupid to try to do it know but...... thats the problem when u buy a game u dont actually own the game u have a license that allows you to play the game and the company can decide to do w/e they want with that license. kinda like when SE comes out and tells u what there gonna do and at the end of everything they always say "items listed in this list are subject to change" the company of the license you buy from the video game you want to play has full use and ability to change there license or void it whenever they want.

I may of dropped a little to much market logic in here but w/e do with it what u wish XD.
With the language that Sony used, there's more to it than that. In Sony's eyes, you own the license to use that data on ANY PS4, not just yours. You also own the disk, the package, and all the data on the disk. You can play that disk on your PS4 or a friend's, they don't care. You can lend it out to a friend, they don't care. You can even put it into a blender or run it over with a lawnmower, they don't care. 'course, dunno why anyone would put the game in a blender or run it over with a lawnmower, but you can.

With XBox, it's much different (if I understand it right). You buy a game, but they dictate when you can play it and when you can't. The ironic thing is this was design to stop piracy I guess, but all it will really do it make more people pirate to get around this BS>
