EU, do your thing
not sure what EU should do here
When you buy something you should be able to pass it on or sell it to someone else. This "the software not sold, only licensed" BS should be illegal. Either you rent with a monthly fee, or you buy it and own it. Owning something means you can sell it to someone else.
Of those two options, you know which one the publishers would pick...
Regulate digital purchases.
Work into immortality, ofc.

The EU has already taken care of it.
