Try fixing all the fucking subscription services and we won't want to stream or clone a copy of media which you never owned because its virtually non existent

I still disagree with the notion made up by punlishers that you buy a dvd or cd you somehow only buy a license to view it. I never agreed to that and you can't just print text on something to make it so.

Ofcourse I don't have the right to make reproduction but owning the physical product should make me the owner.

Maybe not related to your comment but I wanted to rage about this.

You DO have the right to copy it. It's sharing that copy that becomes a potential legal problem.
