    But I still don’t really own it even if I have it physically since the license can be revoked, right?

    Like, I get I could still watch it, sure…but it would be illegal if the license is revoked. So why would I deal with physical media at all since I can also just watch a downloaded torrent without licensing too. It’s the same thing. Except one of them doesn’t produce a bunch of plastic for literally no reason.

      You’re not important enough for them to try to get a DVD or PS disk from your home. Amazon is important enough for them to take back everyone’s purchase in one go.
