Even with the physical disk or movie on DVD you only own a license.

Except the store can't take it back from you if they decide to close up shop. So it inherently is a different product purchase, and should be required to be disclosed as such.

Except that only applies to the physical bytes on your disk. If the publisher can legally revoke your license to use that installer they can do so whether you are able to violate that law or not.
