Fuck digital

A woman in California is suing Amazon after she found out the films she bought digital copies of from them aren't actually hers and can be removed from the service if Amazon loses the rights to them. I read this with a smug smile on my face earlier because I've been saying it for years. 

Fuck digital copies. Physical media is so much better.

If your signal goes bad you can't watch a digital copy. If you can't pay your internet bill you can't watch them. If you watch them in the evening between 6-11 they'll be buffering and at a lower resolution because you'll be sharing bandwidth with everyone else. Oh and they never look that good anyway. Oh you paid for at full HD copy? 1080P? Check again. Plus you know well you just got rode on the price too because amazon and google give fuck all away cheap. And of course they can just decide to swipe it from you too. 

You cannot beat a physical disc. They always look better, they're always in the correct aspect ratio and these days you can usually get them for peanuts if you're willing to buy second hand. Plus they fill a shelf well.

You can pry these from my cold dead hands.
