Digital ownership will never be as good as having your own CD or DVD.

You’re listening to your music and one day your tune is suddenly “not available in your region”. Or a film you like no longer appears in the listings.

If I really like something I’ll keep buying my own copy. Then if Apple Music or Amazon Prime decide to try take something off my hands I’ve paid for, they can’t.

Can that happen? Has it ? I’m not up on technology like I was back in the day.

@Jonjdw Yes and yes.

@Jonjdw Any sort of digital entity unless you have the full thing offline without needing to connect to an ecosystem somewhere else is not fully owned by you.

Louis Rossmann is a strong critic of the concept of 'eula roofying' where the terms of the sale for a product or service are changed after the sale to restrict your rights or access at the whim and behest of the entity that sold you the product or service.

There are many examples of this.

The 'own nothing be happy' concept plays into this. The World Economic Forum aka Klaus Schwab Inc. wants everyone to change to a world where every single aspect of life is a 'service' you have to pay someone else for.
