What protections exist today

Minnesota has no digital-goods-specific consumer law. Its Prevention of Consumer Fraud Act (Minn. Stat. §325F.69) and Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act (§325D.44) prohibit deceptive practices and misrepresentations in consumer sales, enforceable by the Attorney General and, in some circumstances, private plaintiffs. Minnesota also enacted a Digital Fair Repair law in 2023, but that concerns device repair, not digital-purchase ownership.

What's missing

No statute requires that a digital "purchase" be disclosed as a revocable license, mandates a refund on revocation, or requires an offline copy. Protection depends on general consumer-fraud enforcement, untested for digital-ownership labeling.

Tracked legislation

No digital-ownership bills tracked for Minnesota yet.
