If labeling buttons "buy" is illegal when it's not buying to own but subscriptions, "pre-order" should be illegal too. "Ordering a license" doesn't make much sense between expectation and differentiation to (owning) products.

If buttons are labeled "Rent" and "Schedule Rent", do you think it would have an impact? Significant impact?
