Sounds ripe for a legal challenge, but neo-ownership of digital-goods is already so fragile.

digital goods are more like a service at this point. not really property

True for digital goods THEY are supposed to own, but also consider how dominated we are with OUR digital property. I have witnessed how readily tech giants will abuse their position, abuse the power of defaults, weaponize psychology, and feign deletion... even against my lowly grandma. They think nothing of effectively stealing one's digital photos, using them for their own purposes, and giving them to the police, so they can destroy your life and your dog.

it's all legal, because you sign it all away. you have to in order to use the service
