Is this for movies? Because you can always just buy the DVD lol. Then you would own it

Even then, your rights are limited. You can't show it publicly, or make a copy except for personal backup, for instance.

Not if you just buy a digital streaming version. Then they can take it back anytime they want.

I used to think this was unlikely to happen, and didn't like how fragmented streaming services were... And I don't watch enough TVs/movies to justify one or more subscription services.

So I'd just buy everything on YouTube. Figured I'd only buy it once so I paid extra for the 1080p. Then they decided to stop supporting anything over 480p on browsers that aren't Safari. Watching 480p movies is a joke.

Apparently you're only allowed 720p/1080p on phones/tablets (lol at watching a movie that small), smart TVs (why would I own a TV with this little TV consumption) or Safari (lol Macs).

I don't even know what to do at this point. Go back to collecting DVDs? Think I'm just done watching movies.
