Description

When you click &#8220;buy&#8221; on a digital product at Amazon or Apple, as opposed to &#8220;rent,&#8221; what do you think that means? Most folks think of it like buying a physical copy of a thing: they can sell it or pass it down to heirs. But as Aaron Perzanowski, a professor at Case Western, notes in his sit-down with Sonny Bunch, that&#8217;s not really the case: you&#8217;re just buying a license to a thing. And if that license to Amazon or Apple ends? Well, so does your access to the thing you think you &#8220;bought.&#8221; On this week&#8217;s Bulwark Goes to Hollywood, Sonny discusses the tricky nature of ownership in an increasingly digital world&#8212;and what you need to know before you click &#8220;Buy.&#8221; If you enjoy this episode, please share it with a friend!<br/><br/>And if you&#8217;d prefer to listen on another podcast app, you can find The Bulwark Goes to Hollywood on Apple, Google, Spotify, and elsewhere <a href="https://hollywood.thebulwark.com">here</a>.
