Perhaps a bit off-topic, but it seems to me there should be stronger differentiation between various DRM schemes (as you allude to, as streaming vs. not streaming). In the one model, I pay for a good (an album, let's say). In the Old World, I would have purchased a vinyl/tape/CD, which in principle could not be taken away from me (ignore wearing down records, laser rot, etc.). I, as do many, have a philosophical problem with certain DRM schemes applied to this problem -- I buy something which can later be taken away from me. Not cool.
With the streaming paradigm, though, I don't have a philosophical problem with it: when I pay my Netflix bill, it is with the understanding that I can stream as much of the available content as I want, when I want -- and that's it. At no point can Netflix really cheat me out of my content, because it was never my content to begin with (at least, that's how I view it).
Personally, I think there's a strong distinction between the two cases, but perhaps that's just me.
