How about buying a preowned DVD? If we decide that what you're paying for is the entertainment and joy of watching a movie, are we not stealing from the content creators by reselling and purchasing used DVDs?

Edit: I'm making it clear I absolutely despise this argument of course :D Being able to buy/sell used physical media is my favorite reason to buy physical and never buy digital.

I'm sure there are many owners out there that hate the fact physical media is resellable. I'm sure this is at least part of the reason everything is becoming more restricted by copy protection, streamed, proprietary downloads, etc. Everything is becoming harder to own and share without "pirating".

The thing I really hate about not owning content is the access is so damn unreliable. One day I have an album in my playlist, the next day it's gone because licensing or whatever. Then I randomly have to log back in. Maybe on a device i dedicated for playing music that's a pain in the ass to interact with.

I could play Mp3s on a 20 year old computer. That 20 year old computer won't work with apple music lol.

Hell, I can play DVDs that I bought 6 months ago on my 17 year old PowerBook G4!
