> They’ll just replace „Buy” button with „Get Access” or whatever and add some lawyer mumbo-jumbo above it.

Sounds like exactly what is needed? Consumers currently think they're buying something when they click a button that says "Buy", when in reality they're getting temporary access to it.

Forcing companies to use clear language might change consumer behavior, or it might not, but at least it's no longer explicitly misleading.



Not to pour cold water on anyone but consumers will be just as confused by "get access", because they'll expect that they'll have access indefinitely (which us not guaranteed and this doesn't change that).
