yeah, be aware that many things you buy today depend on some cloud service that may go away. for example, a computer system that routinely checks for updates will hopefully still function if the update server goes away. and you can always install another operating system. since I listen to most music via a streaming service these days, I don't consider the music owned and don't mind moving to another service (which I have gone twice, losing playlists in the process). the worst is "digital copies" of movies. I try not to buy these, but occasionally do. I'm pretty sure that Blu-rays I buy today will work until the media degrades, but have no such confidence in digital copies.
