But isn't that what has always happened? I was under the impression from all the EULA's you agree to when you install most games (new and old) that all you ever got was permission to use the software, it wasn't yours in and of itself. The only difference I see now is that publishers and developers are trying to find ways to enforce that EULA, they aren't really changing what you are buying.
