Streaming videos, leasing cars, cloud gaming, spotify, are all great until the distributor takes it away.

I prefer to own my things. The sense that something is mine increases the pleasure of using something for me.

It probably stems from my acquired lack of trust in people. The idea that there's a suit in a high-rise building that spends their days thinking about how to exploit my continued enjoyment of a title by raising the fee, or not addressing congestion hours, or retracting the title when the contract is up and renewing would cost too much, or putting a clause in the service agreement that strips me of my right to sue them if I lose an arm in their amusement park, simply by blurring the lines of ownership.. it bothers me.
