What stops you buying on iTunes for example?

And did anyone ever use those UltraViolet codes? I never tried them. What did they even do?

I guess streaming won out because consumers prefer it - I know I do.

You never ‘owned’ any copy - you only had a licence.

Try selling a Blu Ray. Now try selling a movie you bought on iTunes.
