The UK Consumer Rights Act (CRA) appears to anticipate this as it has no absolute date beyond which goods should remain suitable for purpose.

Digital goods should last infinitely, so a digital good that 'expires' should be fixed or the cost fully refunded (fully as there are still an infinite number of years of use left available; and that should be accounting for inflation too).

They are fully refunding all purchases, though.

I don't understand how publishers are going to continue pushing DRMed media if they have to keep every sale as a liability on their books.
