I pay for Spotify, reluctantly. But it does have almost all the music I want. I also buy games on Gog, if they are not on Gog I use Steam (reluctantly).
I rarely pay for a movie bar a few cinema trips and blu-rays for something I really wanted to support . The reasons:
I want a well encoded DRM free file.
I don't want to be ripped off, or at least the "Steam Sale" model should be there so you can get it at a reasonable price a few months later.
I absolutely want the high quality download option. Steaming is fine for music. I'm confident I could find my Spotify playlists fairly easily elsewhere if I needed too (legally or otherwise). Maybe they are 500GB max.
I wouldn't be confident I could replace terabytes of my favorite movies quickly. I want those archived for myself without DRM.
I will pay when the product is better than a torrent site, it is possible when the lawyers and execs allow it to happen.
