Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Provides that it is an unlawful practice for a seller of a digital good to offer for sale or advertise a digital good to a consumer using the terms "buy" or "purchase" or any other term that a reasonable person would understand to confer an unrestricted ownership interest in that digital good unless specified disclosures are made by the seller. Sets forth exemptions to the provision.
