You know all those movies you bought from Apple?

They are protecting the intellectual property as in you can not make unauthorized copies and you can only watch that movie within the license granted to the company that owns it. The people who need to correct their language are those who say you are "buying" it. You are only buying the authorized use.

No one said or implied anything different. When you buy a VHS tape or DVD t he same applies. Should that language be corrected too?

I am not the one who brought up the "language" issue. You are correct tho. The only thing you buy when you get a DVD is the plastic disk. The content still belongs to the studio. If the disk goes bad, you are screwed (as anyone with a bad cassette, 8 track or vinyl record was). Copying, even to simply back up the content is illegal. So is "sampling". The only thing that is legal is copying content off the air, for your own personal use, thanks to the Sony Betamax decision.

Are you sure about that? I know the local library where movies are heavily used says that they send them back to get new ones when they go bad. Seems like a reasonable, logical process.
