Also, I think people are starting to understand that streaming isn't actually owning, and that anything that's not a file on your machine can just be taken away from you on whim.
People have definitely noticed that with movies. But music streaming is pretty good with having 99% of what most people need and songs don't just dissapear nearly as often, we'll see how that changes though.
yup, good news is all the files are out there, and not going anywhere :)
