Re: I like my DVDs It's not just you - this is true of a lot of people.
I'll sometimes rent DVDs and sometimes buy, but it's important to have the option of buying. This is often disparaged by people saying it's "fetishizing a physical object" (or similar phrases) and that it's unnecessary . Such criticisms miss the point. The point is freedom. I just don't want to have to depend on subscribing to some service and paying by the month. Disks also provide the freedom to lend them to friends, and a means of making portable copies of any sort of digital files.
For these reasons, optical disks are going to stay around a while. |
