Why You Should Still Buy DVDs, You Don't Own Digital Content, Even if You "Buy" It The digital movies you buy on VUDU, iTunes, or Amazon are subject to the same nonsense as streaming media. When you buy a digital copy of a movie, you don't really own it. You've simply purchased a license to play a movie or show through a platform, whether it be Amazon, Apple, Google, or whoever. And if those platforms ever lose the right to provide the titles you've bought, they'll disappear from your library. Maybe you'll be notified, maybe not.When you buy a DVD of a film, there's almost always some extra content that doesn't come on streaming services.Your favorite shows are owned by massive corporations. And while the titles you love may be available today in their original forms, they may not always stay that way. Times, values, and ownership all change. One day, the custodians of your film library could decide that your favorite movie no longer fits their brand and choose to edit or remove it from their offering.Calls for media censorship are not isolated to the 2020s, and the voices calling for that censorship change over time. Advocates for restricting media today are a different group than those who called for it in the 1990s, and their motives are different too.It's impossible to know what the future holds and who will wield the reigns of power in years to come. Owning a physical copy of the shows you want to re-watch your whole life provides a bulwark against the people who would take it away from you if they could.
