 MM> If we stop buying physical, the content providers will screw us more.

Yeah, that's one reason I still like to buy physical copies of movies & TV shows.

There is some music I've bought in the form of downloadable FLAC files (no DRM), and I don't mind that so much, but with movies & TV shows, it seems the downloadable ones they sell are all locked to a specific player/software.  I prefer to have my own copy that I can play any time, and I can also rip it and play it anywhere I want.

I also don't really like that they use the term "digital" for online streaming and downloadable..  Blu-ray, DVD, and CD are all digital mediums too.
