At best you could say Sony didn't know you thought you now own the car they were actually lending you. They probably spelt it out this could happen in their legal codex but that doesn't negate the fact they took your money or they made a system wherein they can deny you from using what you paid for. Sony takes part in this degeneration of ownerships.

If it's not something that lets you straight download and keep a native, non-drm video file, then you never owned it.
