It has always pissed me off that the media industry plays it both ways. Out of one side of their mouths, they'll say you only own a license to watch whatever content, not the content itself. Then when a new media format comes out, they say out the other side that you only own that piece of physical media - you need to buy a new copy to keep up. It's a tangible good when it suits them and a digital one when it suits them. I was in film school in the 00s. At the same time that kids were getting sued into oblivion over piracy, media executives would come be guest speakers at our class and would be gushing about how cool it was to watch a movie on their iPod on the way there. They were participating in the same piracy they were trying to ruin other people's lives over, and they were completely oblivious to the hypocrisy.
