The new law mandates that sellers in California clearly disclose when a purchase is, in fact, a limited, revocable license. Further, it bans terms like “buy” or “purchase” unless these words are accompanied by disclosures indicating that the purchase might not confer true ownership. In this way, AB 2426 enforces truth in advertising for digital products, ensuring that companies can no longer mislead consumers into thinking they “own” a digital product only to have it disappear from their libraries later."

'The same year, an out-of-court settlement was made between Sheeran and musician Matt Cardle after Sheeran’s song Photograph was accused of copying notes from Cardle’s 2012 single Amazing. Sheeran regretted it, claiming in 2022 that the move opened “the floodgates,” when it came to copyright lawsuits. A year later, when he was taken to court due to the similarities between Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On and his hit Thinking Out Loud, Sheeran was determined to frame these challenges as an existential problem for musicians, vowing to quit altogether if he was found to have breached copyright. He wasn’t – and if his Photograph settlement opened the floodgates, this victory has undoubtedly nudged them in the opposite direction.' #copyright #music
