YouTube does still allow to "buy"/rent movies one apiece.

  Nowhere can one pay a fee and receive a legal digital copy of a movie. YouTube allows people to pay for the privilege of being allowed to stream a movie for and indefinite period of time. YouTube retains the right to revoke all movie "purchases" at any time. GP is asking why we can't actually buy digital copies of the movies like we could with music in the iTunes era.

    Vimeo does offer downloadable DRM-free paid videos, I used it a couple of times for crowd-funded movies and comedians releasing their shows. But yeah, it's pretty rarely used unfortunately.

    Not the same as a real file download but you can "download" a youtube video to your local cache with premium.

  Want a copy forever, not a YouTube buy.
