I still buy physical media bc I don't like license rights in digital media. You own nothing you buy digitally. It's all under pretty limited license rights and I've seen companies/products like borders or zune go out of business and take your content with them.

The shift from Google music to yt music shredded my music collection (but backups) and Amazon's shift to a Spotify clone has played merry hob with my library bc the license rights changed.

Having a physical copy you can fall back in is the hedge against these risks.

The way I see it; it's not about digital versus physical. It's digital vs piracy.

If something I bought digitally is taken away from me, there are ways for me to take it back by force if necessary. Corporations need to understand that they are not fighting piracy, they are competing with it.
