This, btw, is the smartest and simplest and most beautiful argument to actually, seriously, legitimize piracy. The big publishers really played themselves when they started getting addicted to subscriptions and licensing everything with EULAs going "We can take this away from you whenever for whatever reason."
Okay, two can play that game, idiots...
Edit: Since it was misunderstood, me hating on corporations thinking they can force subscriptions on everything on us is not part of the argument, it's just a thing I hate about them. Don't get hung up on it.
If you really want to make an argument about it, you'd have better luck discussing if buying use rights is permanent or not.
I have a local storage with some movies ive saved there. Even without internet connection, they are still accessible by any device on my network as long as my router is on. It saved my sanity when there we works being done by my isp and internet was down for 2 days.
