Steam appears to have started posting a notice in its shopping cart that purchases on its storefront are only for a license and not a game.

You only buy a license to watch/listen media private in most cases. Even if yo buy a DRM free copy of a film/track/game, you only have a license to consume it private. If you want to show (or share) with public, you need another (way more expensive) license to do that legally.

The only difference is, when you only stream the media or there is DRM on the files, it is not possible to archive it easily and the danger of lost media is far greater.

Dude, you just cannonballed into the Achualy pool. You know that’s not what we’re all talking about.
