Yeah, same. I would likely spend more on media if I got something where "owning" meant something that it did not matter if the company changed their mind, went out of business, I lost my password, I am off the internet, and so on.

Honestly, probably why I've bought a lot of Humble Bundles despite having a very low use rate, and why I'm sad that many of the book bundles are now done through Kobo.

If companies want to treat me like a pirate, I want to pay for things like a pirate.
