We need to stop calling it "purchasing"

We need to prosecute companies (and their executives, personally) who fraudulently misrepresent it as "purchasing."

I think in legal terms it’s even called licensing.

If paying for digital content isn't ownership, then downloading it for free isn't piracy.
