I fear it will be the complete opposite. Once Netflix decides something is no longer worth streaming to your country there is no way to get at it again. Compared to the possibility of going to a second hand market looking for a dvd-set I’d say the situation will be worse for old movies.
- mywittyname 8y agoYour fears are completely unfounded. Digital content is so much easier to maintain than older methods of archiving. The stuff you "buy" from services like Amazon or Steam is going to be around for a very long time. I have digital content that's almost 20 years old now and I still have access to all of it.
- CuriousSkeptic 8y agoI was thinking more of the content you don’t “buy”. Have had plenty of experience with things being gone when I wanted to see it. I also don’t “buy” things from these vendors because they keep popping up and going away, being bought and closed or merged. Have no interest having my “owned” stuff being tied to a particular company keeping in existence. I actually ended my Apple Music subscription thinking I would be better if buying things from iTunes I listen to over and over. But they tried their very best to make that a non-option and now I actually don’t know what to do. At this point Murfie Music seems like the only option that makes sense, but I’m assuming the music industry will manage to make them illegal sooner or later so not to keen on that either.
