PlayStation founder Ken Kutaragi says discs became "metaphor for 'owning' games", and that upset at their discontinuation is a "mentality issue" (www.eurogamer.net)

That is not what “fair use” means in the context of copyright.

Also most of those licenses were non-transferable which means it was illegal to sell those games secondhand. But again it was unenforceable.

What you are talking about is DRM.

I think you are also missing my point.

I'm not talking about what the law is/was.

Also, I put "Fair usage" in quotes for a reason.

My point is that those producing media should not be able to sell you something that you are not allowed to control to some extent, and use at your disposal.
