well you do own media in digital distribution system. We have XBox Live as a great example. Once you buy the right to a movie in digital form you can always redownload if you data gets corrupted, a huge benefit over actaully having the media where you LEGALLY can't backup because you'll be breaking the law and if your disc becomes unplayable you will be forced to spend ANOTHER $20.
The key thing here is that WE CAN have digital distribution now, but movie studios are the ones who are refusing to provide content. I think it's time for consumer strike this time around. Unfortunately the popularity of digital downloads needs to grow to a large level so people really see the convenience. Already in rental market digital downloads are whooping ass.
We want content to be accessible, to be cheap and we want to be able to watch it anywhere and digital downloads give us that and much more.
