That's the received wisdom, yeah. The party line etc etc. I am not so sure though.

One has to factor in the possibility and ease of losing the device, or rights to the content that I have backed up on the cloud. Way too many people have the ability to intervene between me and the content. I appreciate the convenience of not having to move shit ton of bleached and pulped wood, but then I have to worry less about DRM, some raid in New Zealand, govt ordered deactivation of device, reading something that powers that be may not be to pleased about

I would like to read what the fuck I want with less power on others to influence that.
