Yeah that's why I buy DVDs if it's something that I actually want to keep. I don't mind streaming as long as you understand that you own nothing.
Yup, it's a great way to fill that "I want to watch something" need.
I buy and rip DVDs/Blu-rays that I want to keep, and then stream the rips from my NAS. It works pretty well.
This article isn't about streaming like Hulu or Netflix.
