This remains my favourite quote from any user agreement I've ever seen, from the PlayStation Terms of Use:

> Use of the terms "own," "ownership", "purchase," "sale," "sold," "sell," "rent" or "buy" in this Agreement or in connection with the Content does not mean or imply any transfer of ownership of any content

I mean, this is chef's kiss level of deceit. No parody could top that.

Any jurisdiction where a company can just put "when we say you'll own it, it doesn't mean you'll own anything" in their contracts and get away with it, is broken.
