Netflix and Spotify don't model their service as a purchase, though. Netflix in particular is very clearly still shaped like a rental with their DVD service. I think of them as more convenient radio and TV: I can choose the thing I want, but I don't expect that it's portable.
This is sharply contrasted with the so-called "purchase" model of Amazon or iTunes video, and even more with the way physical media works these days (comment above about Blu-ray).
- rhino369 5y agoTrue, but I think the parents point was that "buying" media was essentially dying anyway. Disney will still sell you a BluRay of Frozen if you want it, but they really want to sell you 65 dollars a year Disney+.
