Incredible timing with the news they are discontinuing disks in 2028.

You will own nothing.

I keep seeing people whinge about disks, but I dont see the benefit. Most people dont even have the hardware to read a disk...

How is this any different from downloading a file off the internet? Maybe its fun to juggle a bunch of disks?

Right I should also add I'm mostly talking about PC here.

Rights management in a physical media world = I have the media in my hand (caveats for some DRM systems)

Rights management for digital media = companies remotely deleting paid content from my account & keeping my money / songs disappearing out of my streaming playlist / etc
