This is why you pirate, not why you buy physical media.

I try to buy non-DRM downloadable media. If it's impossible ... I'll buy it and then "obtain" the non-DRM version. I make sure I have a digital backup of physical media too.

My stance is "Fuck 'em, I paid for it." I'm not going to be beholden to a service or system that's likely to disappear at some point, or a physical thing that can break.

Sounds like those punk or community events with waged/unwaged tiers...

Apparently they got the digital access as a bonus from physical media. Still bad, but not as bad.
