You are a mindless sheep, you are paying for something you dont own and never will own, unlike my physical copy o the movie.

Sorry Dude you only own the physical medium not the copy of the movie.
The movie and all likeness contained within remains the property of the copyright holder !
Welcome to Crappy Corporate America

No, I own a copy of the movie on the physical medium, I may not have many rights to it like to make copies, but I still own a copy. My main point was my copy of the movie cant be taken away from me, while a digital copy can be.

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.

No no not digital ownership just one time streaming rental.
Its where it seems to be at in Europe at the moment.
We have a few BIG providers in the UK (Sky, BT, Virgin) and they are mostly pushing streaming rental.
I got to admit its pretty good as an experience. Sit back select the movie you want to watch. Confirm your going to be charged a set amount and then watch the movie.
No waits no trolling down to the rental shop, just a movie as and when you want it. HD is also available but at a premium.
