I don't think people not understanding licenses are the problem.
Licenses are.
It's just that for the longest time people didn't have to think about them, because if you had a license to consume a game/movie/album and also had a copy of it on physical media it was basically impossible for the media owner to take it away from you.
But when everything is digital only, doing exactly that is easy as pie.
This feels like how sometimes laws from the 1800s are used to convict people of computer-related crimes. Maybe that was always possible, but it still seems unfair.
