Well I think your wrong regarding the legal aspects but your main point vis a vis ownership is valid. Of course this isnt a problem for one time rental streaming. The experience you had watching the movie and the memories cannot be taken away. Its a really interesting time at the moment regarding movies and distribution. More and more people seem to accept digital fast access to media as a valid distro channel. I hope that eventually new release movies will be available in the home on the night of release. |
Read the EULA for those digital copy services. Most of them have the right block your access to all movies you 'purchased' digitally. Valve is not legally obligated to give a way to unlock games games you've downloaded should they shut down. In fact i'd almost bet my left nut that they will not in fact follow through on that promise, but i'm not a betting man.
There will always be a market for digital _and_ physical mediums. Unfortunately, when digital comes into full bloom, physical medium will rise in price.
