Benchmark Scores Faster than the tortoise; slower than the hare.
After careful consideration and a couple of beers (it's stinking hot outside and it is a holiday here :D), I've come to the conclusion that there is no "all inclusive" solution to the variety of digital gaming models on the market today.
There are so many variables that it would be impossible to write a law that adequately addresses all the issues.
Given that the laws are being contemplated and put forth by the people who probably know the LEAST about computer gaming, we as consumers are going to get the shaft.
Yeah, there would have to be an international standard that unifies everything about digital sales (from who owns servers, to what applications can and cannot be sold, to how currecny transactions are handled, to DRM, to user accounts, to features, etc.). You would have to be able to buy the game at <insert digital store here> and be able to use it on <insert digital store here>, and sell it via <insert digital store here>.

It just isn't feasible. :(
