  I’m going to assume youre on the younger side of things based on your view. If I’m wrong here, my apologies.

  But having a physical copy of media that you control is very useful. You can view it whenever you want or need. Power is out? Generator, TV, media player. Soaks up a lot less juice than a PC. Internet goes out? Still got entertainment to pass the time.

  From an economic system point of view, it used to be you’d pay for something and then it was yours. That system was quietly abused and without “consent”, it’s now you pay for something you rent. So from that perspective, fuck the system. Owning is better. I bought it. I didn’t rent it. And I certainly didn’t rent it pending 6 other subsystems being able to function and some arbitrary usage agreement between corporations, who more often than not, are working together against me to just make money.
