@alpha1beta @gamingonlinux maybe the FTC should get involved? At least in the USA they could do something.

@hub @gamingonlinux maybe by 2030 they'll figure it out and slap them with a small fine. We need an FTC with balls and an attitude problem

@alpha1beta @gamingonlinux I found it had more than anything up here (Canada).

Maybe the EU will strike first.

@hub @gamingonlinux I'd bet on the EU. And I'll bet they'll mandate clear labeling eventually - this is a rental with unknown end date, not a purchase, the minimum they can do is say so, and give a minimal timeframe (our contract with X lasts for 4 more years).

It should also require a price difference of a rental vs a similar purchase - if I can buy a DVD or rent a stream for the same price, that's wrong. The stream costs them less and a rental should always be cheaper.
