    Personally I can’t see it, what have they taken away from me?

    I own way more now than I did 20yrs ago when the web was still a bright young thing.

      Anything you purchase that is attached to a service and you don’t have any physical copies, you don’t actually own.

        Which is pretty easy to avoid, honestly. All my music, movies, and games are on external hard drives they can’t access. Same with all of my editing software.

        That needs to be the default for digital again.
