Decoupling the physical media from the license to access that media would be a huge boon for consumers and creators but publishers will need to be forced into it. The ideal would be an open system where you can buy a license directly from the creator (or from a publisher on the creators behalf) then retrieve that content from any publisher by presenting your proof-of-purchase.
