Isn't this the same old arguement of "Renting vs. Owning"?
At the end of the deal, I have nothing.
I'd rather own something. Sure formats change. But that is the way of the beast. All my cassettes are proof of that. But at least I still have them, and players that play them. If I had "rented" them I'd have nothing. I like pulling some of my records out every now and then and look at the ARTWORK, and listen to "hicks & pops" it shows my kids how far we have come. Thank goodness I didn't rent all my music back then!!
I'd have nothing...
Subscription Model Killing iTunes? Yawn.
