  The content you bought is available to be streamed on Discovery Plus, for a small subscription fee.

  Just buy your content again, that’s fair right? You wouldn’t expect a perpetual license for the cash you parted with, that would be crazy!

    It’s the perfect model. People only buy a DVD once, but this way you can keep them paying forever!

  Or, you know, buy media you can store on your own devices.

    I don’t have a house big enough to store a ton of DVDs, and the Playstation Digital Edition solidified that we don’t have to buy physical media anymore. So the only option is piracy.

      No, there are plenty of ways to buy digital only media, where you store it on your own drives.

      I have a NAS full of media that I own that I bought. None of it physical.

        What service do you use that lets you pay for and download the media files in that way?

        The only one I know of is Bandcamp that lets you download the mp3s after you buy the album.

      There is this lovely invention called dvd binders, it let’s you keep a ton of them in a much smaller space
