For example: private equity firms buying trailer parks and raising rents so high that people go bankrupt

    Make it a legal requirement for any indefinite revokable license product on sale to be sold as “indefinitely licensing”. Any term implying irevokable ownership (I.e. buying, purchasing) would be illegal to use.

    It would wisen a lot of people up very quickly to what’s essentially a long-play con being pulled on them constantly, especially as some games companies *cough* Sony *cough* are looking to force digital-only ecosystems.

    … And if being forced to use that term makes the companies doing this squeemish, well they could always just stop selling revokable licenses.

      This is brilliant and workable. “Purchasing” gets replaced with “renting”. Love it.
