This seams the core of Apple's defence:

  Apple contends that '[n]o reasonable consumer would believe' that purchased content would remain on the iTunes platform indefinitely
which is a flagrant difference between ownership of physical items and non-cloud items vs cloud items.

This strikes at the root of our society's definition of ownership. Clarification should not depend on Apple, or even a court. This should be enshrined by an explicit law. Using the word 'license' or 'rent' instead of 'buy' for something you can't own seems the minimum a consumer should demand.
