Digital media is never out of stock or out of print. You don't have hope that a new shipment will come in some day or visit another location, and you don't have to pay exorbitant prices because demand outstrips supply

Not true. The seller buys a number of keys, I've seen a few cases on amazon and steam where they sold all the keys and had to stop the sale or wait for another bunch. Also, when licenses expire, you can't buy the game anymore (e.g. Outrun on XBLA/PSN, Blur on Steam).

For clarification, I think you mean distribution rights.

Licenses can never expire unless you don't own the game/license, for example if you rent or lease.
