Sure, you can still own digital media, but you can't sell or trade it like you can with a physical copy.

Meh. If life weren't so focused on material gains and losses, I wouldn't need to.

It would also mean potential losses for the distributors, as people are (supposedly) less likely to buy directly for them.

So, again, the problem isn't the media, it's the distributors.
