      They don’t. They clarify that owning a copy of the game does not confer copyright ownership, and they outline public performance rights, but it’s ownership over a physical object in the same way owning a lamp is, or perhaps more appropriately, the way in which owning a book is.

      If you say that you “own a copy of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell,” no one crawls out of the work to argue IP and copyright law. Everyone understands what is meant.

      This is no different.

        Given the wording of some EULAs that’s debatable. Not that those clauses would be enforceable if anyone actually tried, mind you.
