You don't OWN anything, you RENT it from us, WE CONTROL ALL OF THE CONTENT: "pay per view" and if you don't pay up, we shut you out. Or as in the case of Ultraviolet: "we close up shop, and all of those movies in your personal library that you thought were yours magically 'disappear'".
I, along with thousands of other people across the country fought against DIVX, until both it and Circuit City were DEAD. Now, another generation has sprung up that doesn't remember that fight, or what the studios and a bunch of hack lawyers tried to foist on the public.
Sadly, they are lapping up streaming, never own anything, but rent it model with a spoon, even though the audio and video content stinks in comparison to 4K UHD, and even 1080p HD Blue-Ray just because it's "convenient".
Thanks but NO THANKS. I'm sticking with PHYSICAL MEDIA that I OWN. And if I want a digital copy of what I own, I will rip it to my personal hard drive and stream it from there.
You enjoy paying $39.99 off the bat for a movie that you probably will watch only several times?
Don't be a Luddite. I have no problem with renting a movie off of Google Play for $3.99. It is far cheaper than going to the theaters, and I'm not paying $39.99 or whatever for a disc that will deteriorate over time and just take up space.
