The MPAA and record labels 1000% assume that everything you “buy” is a limited license. We can argue all day about what it functionally means - legally or otherwise

You can argue whatever you want.

But if you try to resell the "single copy" of digital content you supposedly own from any of the platforms with that marketing lie, every one of them will aggressively take action. And they'll win every time.

Because you don't and can't own a copy of a file and don't have the inherent rights ownership provides.
