Rep. Ritchie Torres, representing New York's 15th congressional district in the Bronx, has introduced the Power To The Players Act in Congress. If passed, the bill would direct the Federal Trade Commission to establish regulations guaranteeing consumers ownership rights over the video games they purchase. Gamers have long complained that digital purchases can be revoked, and the proposal is drawing attention as a possible legal answer to those concerns.

Why now: Growing concern over digital game ownership and publishers' ability to revoke purchased games has made consumer protection legislation a hot topic.
