With so many people talking about how Microsoft's recently rescinded policies about online-check-ins and trade restrictions was essentially stoping us from owning our games, I wanted to address the simple fact that we don't own video games... And frankly, we never have.

As with any type of media (Music, Movies, Games) the copyright owners are the ones who actually own the media. When you buy software, movies or music, what you are actually purchasing is a license from the copyright owner to use the media in accordance with the license agreement included with the media.

Microsoft's policies would not have stopped you from owning games because you already don't own them.
