CAN THEY DO THAT? | PlayStation, "Ownership" and Digital Content Delivery (VL687)

Buying digital content has never been easier. Between Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and more, your favorite game, song, or movie is just a click (and charge) away.

But with PlayStation getting out of the movie delivery business altogether, the entire concept of digital "ownership" has come into question. And with good reason.

We won't sell out, but no promises on whether we'll *license* out...in Virtual Legality.
