Yeah, and I have a buttload of stuff on my hard drive, too, but I can't go to the thrift store and buy a used download. That's really the point behind the attempts to move away from physical media, they want to kill secondhand sales.
Gaming consoles are moving that way anyways, mobile devices are there already (check your cell phone contract) and plenty of stores won't carry second hand PC software.
Im surprised they haven't simply legislated it out of existence, to be fair.
