The problem is you've always owned a license to use a copy of the media. The same thing goes for music. You DO NOT OWN THE GAME OR MUSIC. You literally have a licese to use it. The whole reason you can make a backup of physical media legally is because you have the right to make a backup of licensed media you own. You can even sell the backup copy if the original media is destroyed. I was telling that to someone recently, where a jewel case for a CD and orignial liner had a CD-R copy of the disk they bought.
I've worked in both music and computer science. Both literally have the same model. If you want to own the actual media, write a book. You literally own the book. In fact, publishing encryption software code into a book and mailing it to England got around the US's 40 bit encryption munitions laws, lol. Peoplle published RSA onto T-Shirts and lauded it as munitions. Fun times.
