Well, they can’t make your content disappear if you download copies of it to your own computer or server.

I've always just gotten moving, watched them, and then usually just delete them to make room for more. Lately I've been thinking about just upgrading my storage, and making sure to have copies of a lot of my favorite movies and TV shows. I don't rewatch things much anymore, now that there's so many new things always coming out. But I like to every now and then.
