Ya, fuck broadcast TV. I'd much rather pay a streaming service for their commercial-laden programming.
You can tell me all you want about how the Ts and Cs in these purchases do in fact note that the nature of the purchase is a temporary licensing of the content for an undetermined time period... but I can promise you that the public in general doesn't understand that. They think they're buying a thing, not a license.
People still don't realize if it's in the cloud, it can disappear anytime. Unless you have a playable copy in your hand, you have no permanent ownership. Games, movies, programs, any online service, it's all the same.
Yet another lesson...
