You're only telling part of the story though. Look at Netflix for example, yes I have access to a vast library of movies but that all comes with strings attached. I've had the price of entry increased multiple times. So I subscribe to a higher tier and shared my account with my extended family to help offset the increased cost, and again the rules are changed yet again. The movies and music that I have bought are mine forever to enjoy as I see fit, no strings attached and no moving goal post. I have everything available on a server that myself and my family can access whenever we wish.
