@EposVox Streaming is transient for me: if I expect to come back to it later, I want DRM-free local files in a well supported format, not just a stream.
I buy a lot of music in downloadable digital format, and I would happily pay for video from licenced distributors—but no such services exist as far as I know (for anime, movies or Western TV).
Physical makes no sense for me, it costs more and is worse for the environment and costs *me* time to rip to file for my digital library...
