Loss of Digital Ownership Due to License Revocation by Platforms

Summary

Artists and consumers face a severe lack of ownership when purchasing digital art or media, as platforms can revoke licenses, delist content, or remove access without recourse. This undermines the concept of ownership for digital goods, leaving buyers with no legal protection and artists with unstable revenue streams from digital sales. The problem is unsolved as existing digital rights management and terms of service allow unilateral revocation.
