Reply to Do you think BluRay DVDs are the final form of physical media? Or will a new physical media format come to be, and what would that look like? by Daveyb003
I still buy physical media bc I don't like license rights in digital media. You own nothing you buy digitally. It's all under pretty limited license rights and I've seen companies/products like borders or zune go out of business and take your content with them.
The shift from Google music to yt music shredded my music collection (but backups) and Amazon's shift to a Spotify clone has played merry hob with my library bc the license rights changed.
Having a physical copy you can fall back in is the hedge against these risks.

Fucking Amazon One. Panera won't own the data. Amazon will. I've looked at these contracts and talked to these asinine amoral lawyers pushing this tech.
