I disagree; It's true that section 109 generally prohibits rental of computer programs, but 109(b)(B)(ii) exempts "computer program[s] embodied in or used in conjunction with a limited purpose computer that is designed for playing video games and may be designed for other purposes" from this prohibition.

I don't see a problem with renting video games. I've noticed that many video stores now do so. I wonder if they're all licensed by the copyright holder.
