Seeing how these days you're effectively "renting" any cloud-based DRM-enabled digital content, I think it makes more sense for them to be called services for which you get a "license to use" indefinite (i.e. limited, for as long as the deal vendor/publisher is in place) period of time.

IIRC, even some DRM-free digital content (e.g. iTunes downloads) are rented per the EULA. But yes... I agree that anything that is rented is more appropriately be defined as a service rather than a product.
