    If you download something, nobody can take that away either. By getting the physical copy you are just creating extra steps.

    I am making the point that it seems we have a generation that doesn’t understand how to go and get files and/or share them.

    Nothing I said was about subscriptions.

    Personally, I could do without the physical media, that is just going backwards and I don’t want to own all that crap. But it also means the only services I use are ones I make myself so I can listen to my collection anywhere in the world and on any device I own. But its my service.

    For what its worth, I never have subscribed to spotify or any other music service. I do chip in a bit of money for SOMAFM, and I guess it is streaming, but it’s listener supported radio basically.

    There is so much to listen to, and so much fan traded and openly traded music, whats the point of paying someone?
