I think there was an episode where they found out that there's a US law that says US citizens don't have the right to ownership of software or something like that. they're only trying in countries where customer protection is a thing, but the practice of removing ownership of software after some time is in a gray area.

asdfasfasfasfasSo you're saying a company representative can come to your home at any time and take all the clothes you bought from them because they still own the rights to the design ?

asdfasfasfasfasDidn't mean to sound harsh. Not a native English speaker.
It's still in a gray legal area in most countries or they wouldn't even be trying. Nobody is trying to steal the intelectual property, just make it that companies can't come years later and remove things you bought full price . It's a matter of customer protection.
