    No, there are plenty of ways to buy digital only media, where you store it on your own drives.

    I have a NAS full of media that I own that I bought. None of it physical.

      What service do you use that lets you pay for and download the media files in that way?

      The only one I know of is Bandcamp that lets you download the mp3s after you buy the album.

        Amazon also lets you download music without DRM, and I know Apple did ten years ago before I dropped them. I don’t think there’s a single legal option for film, though. I think the person you’re replying to is full of shit.

        Closest thing? Last time I used their stuff, Apple let you download video you buy. It has DRM, though, so if they lose the license to it, it’s pretty much moot anyway.

        You can’t even buy MP3s anymore?? I haven’t paid for a digital download since before smart phones. I would be more concerned about downloading digital content from a website that charges for it rather than pirating tbh. Where did the seller get it from in the first place??

        That’s not a bad black-market business model, actually…

        Man, I love Bandcamp, but I hear they got bought by Epic Games which does not bode well…
