It's not misleading. Sony is the one who took the money and hides somewhere 23 pages inside their terms of service that the terms "buy", "purchase", "own" and so on don't mean what they commonly do. Your contract regarding these movies is with Sony - the underlying structure should not matter to you. This is not the first time Sony pulled this shit. Go watch Louis Rossmanns video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYxmRaRRdc0

    Doesn't matter in regard to consumer protection laws, you can't press a button, and legally lose your legally defined consumer protections.
    Also no license is allowed to put consumers in a worse position than required by law. Attempts to do so can actually make the license illegal! Voiding any protection the issuer seeks from the license.
