That’s kind of the saddest part really. We’ve allowed the convenience of streaming, packaged with these pesky copyright and privacy issues, to destroy any other legal repositories of digital media. Luckily as streaming has matured some of the more tech savvy artists are starting to do their own distribution.
My biggest fear is in what will be lost in the future. These companies haven’t been around long enough for consumers to know how they will retain media. Will they only keep up licenses on the most popular movies? How will you then ever get a legal copy or access to one of your favorite movies of 30 years ago that nobody else liked?

We’ve allowed the convenience of streaming, packaged with these pesky copyright and privacy issues, to destroy any other legal repositories of digital media. To be fair that only applies to video. With music there's a wide range of digital, DRM-free, lossless purchasing options available. However I worry that this will become a much smaller niche considering the popularity of streaming.
