    Unless you can physically hold an offline device containing everything you need to replay it you don’t own it.

      According to my local (Dutch) laws, I don’t need to own a physical copy. A YouTube purchase is sufficient for me to legally download a copy over p2p, I’m just not allowed to upload it.

      We’re still being charged “thuiskopie” taxes on storage devices, so I’m still allowed to make copies for personal use, either via the app I bought it on, or as an MKV found on torrent sites.

        This is banking on someone else providing the data you want when you want it. Things on torrent sites do disappear especially if they are more niche media.

          Yeah, but I usually buy it somewhere and then torrent it. Except for YouTube, most UIs aren’t all that dashing (or just slow, like Prime).
