A quick definition of Computer Software Rental Amendments Act:

Computer Software Rental Amendments Act: A law made in 1990 that says people who buy computer programs cannot rent, lease, or lend the software to make money. This law is to protect the people who make the software from losing money.

A more thorough explanation:

The Computer Software Rental Amendments Act is a law passed in 1990 that prohibits individuals or businesses from leasing, renting, or lending computer software for commercial gain without the permission of the copyright owner. This means that if you purchase a software program, you cannot rent it out to others for profit.

For example, if a company buys a software program to use in their business, they cannot rent it out to other companies for a fee. Another example would be an individual who purchases a video editing software program cannot rent it out to others for a profit.

These examples illustrate how the Computer Software Rental Amendments Act protects the rights of copyright owners by preventing others from profiting off of their software without permission. It ensures that the copyright owner has control over how their software is used and distributed.
