There is an easy fix here:

Require mergers to refund customers impacted as part of the merger.

Refund the sale price (that's less than its value to me), or the value I placed on it (that's difficult to estimate)?

Refunding simply the sales price means the users lose out because the $100 I paid for my library 5 years ago is worth less now due to inflation. Simply giving me back $100 now would yield a value of $80 back in 2019.

Just give the game/music/movie file without DRM
