Seriously, why would I want to own a CD or DVD?

It is nice to be able to own a physical copy so you don't have to rely on your Internet connection. Ask those who lost media on Plays-for-Sure and iTunes how that worked out.

The studios have decided they no longer want us to have physical copies of their music or films. They want the final say to decide what we can watch, or if we can watch it at all.

You can easily create a collection of films on an external hard-drive device, and stream it into your television or monitor.

Hard copies of movies deteriorate over time, there's storage issues, discs get damaged, etc.
