>but the current media pricing is too expensive (in a myriad of ways) for the value it's providing. I'd argue that media is substantially better value today, than it ever was back in the day. You pay now the price of a single DVD, for a whole extensive catalogue of content. Or what you'd pay to watch a PPV for the time it was broadcast. |

You pay that amount for access to said catalogue of content for a single month. If you bought the DVD, it would work for years/decades to come (assuming no manufacturing defects) plus you'd be well within your rights to make a digital copy of that DVD for your private collection.
Sure, you probably only watched that DVD 1-3 times, but that's not the point. The point is you bought it and that gives you certain rights that are now totally absent from a digital first media consumption reference point.
