Why SHOULD renting games be legal?...

Copyright law was made to benefit users not creators. Renting benefit's users.

 

Nope, copyright is there to protect the creator and his or her work.

 

Not according to the Suppreme court:

"The sole interest of the United States and the primary object in conferring the [copyright] monopoly lie in the general benefits derived by the public from the labors of authors."
