When you buy a video game you don't own the video game, what you are actually buying is a license for you (the person who paid for it) to use it on the machine that the company specified. I know not alot of ppl know this but in short it technically is piracy for you to buy a game and than lend it to a friend for a week or two cause they don't have the proper license to play it only you do.

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>

Like I said business can change the license at there sole discretion. In other words Sony is thinking logically. Where as Microsoft is thinking like a business with money grabbing manager logic. It is illegal to lend games out and you don't own the game.

However Sony is going 'O you know what the average person doesn't understand this lets change the license aggrement and let them do it, sure it's technically "illegal" but its better to get 90 cents out of a dollar than to piss the gamers off and get nothing right?'

Where as Microsoft is sticking to the law going 'This is illegal you cannot do it!!!!'

Sorry im not a good teacher lol don't really know how to explain it better. its more like sony is more human beings where as microsoft is a cold calculating machine doing everything 100% by the books.
