Another Good Argument for Buying Physical Copies

[Ian J]

I love owning physical copies of Music, Movies and Games.

Even when you purchase a movie, you might not be able to watch it

Yes, although these days with network-connected players and so on, content owners are gaining the opportunity to block the playback of physical discs and so on too.

Watch your movie in July and use a screen recorder.

Problem solved.

If Disney cheats you then cheat Disney.

I want to own physical stuff since I pay money for it.

That's why I dislike Steam.

I don't really own the Games.

That's why I've only bought things on Steam to use with interpreters (Jedi Outcast, RTCW, Doom, etc.). The data files are what I want anyway, especially on Pandora, not the old Windoze engines. I still prefer GOG's business model though.

If it's DRM-free, I prefer it without physical storage (there simply is not much space in my appartment).

Movies would be too big for my HDDs anyway, so I buy BDs and am still pissed, that I cannot watch them on my PC...

I've got the same problem (with books mostly as I don't owe that many movies or games). However I'll deliberately strip DRM from everything possible.
