    This isn’t nostalgia. This is ‘Unless i own the physical thing, they can take it away because with digital you never really own it you only have a license to use it.’

      I understand that only if you’re into collecting. Personally I am not, and while I am nostalgic for the “scarcity” disks gave, I just don’t see a reason to go back to a physical library. As for ownership - no one can take it away as well, since there is no DRM.

      Agreed. I buy physical versions wherever possible. Plus video and audio are generally higher quality than streaming/digital purchases.

        oh that isn’t to say I don’t have digital, backed up in a few places. I simply recognize that legally speaking everyone is now outright saying ‘you do not own this we are giving you a license to use it.’

        yea no. I am going to ensure my things will go either to my niece, or to those I feel are deserving when i shuffle off this mortal coil.
