In any reasonable society we would have actual ownership rights over the digital media that we buy and we wouldn't be beholden to fickle services or the inevitable decay of matter.

DRM-free copies, when properly backed up, are more secure than physical media. I have ripped MP3s from music CDs that already stopped working.
