This is a stark reminder that all these people who have downloaded films off of iTunes and the like, have a UV or digital copy 'collection', or rely on shows/films being available on Netflix and Amazon may need to realise, that for whatever reason(s), these items may not be accessible to them in the future, as you are to a large degree at the mercy of the companies who currently own/license these.
If you want to 'own' anything then you need to buy shiny discs people.
