Yep...I also believe if I download a song or video in one format, it should become my possession. I should also be able to convert it to another format as I see fit. No one should tell me how to eat my Reese’s.
If they want to advertise it as “renting” a song in the future, that’s fine. If they want to play hardball and not offer legal downloads at all, that’s fine too. But don’t ask me to “buy” a song or video when it’s not really true.

Same as a house. You may pay the bank off. But don’t pay your property taxes & see how quick you “own” it.
