I agree with you, and I buy physical media for similar reasons. I also like that its so cheap! But the problem for people like us is that it doesn't matter. This whole subject is about entertainment access, and on the list of things that matter that's pretty far down. It's like the drive for prisoner human rights - people care, a little bit, but it's so far down the list of priorities it never gets attention. I believe that media companies are THE smartest companies in the world on the subject of selling and human psychology, and they know EXACTLY what they are doing and how much they can get away with, and they probably even have accurate models that describe how long it takes for new constraints on a population to be normalized such that anyone who complains is alienated by their peers, and the central authority need do nothing.
