I don't sympathize with people with this attitude. You can still collect hard medium or you can enjoy the conveyance of downloading... Or some combination of both.
There has always been an evolution on how music is consumed. Recording devices have only been around for 100 years or so and music, well who knows how long music has been around. I bet if you ask an Aborigany what he thinks- he's going to say there is nothing like a drum beat next to an open fire.
I don't remember crying any tears when my Lynyrd Skynyrd 8 Track became obsolete as well as the cassett and the LP before that. Pretty sure none of those mediums were worth much at the end of the day. I have a feeling my digital version on my computer will last me until the grave, and my kids, if I raise them well, will enjoy that dig file until their grave. Unlike the LP, 8track and cassette that came before. So I just don't understand the whining.
By the way, I just bought a mint Street Survivors LP (with the fire!) a few weeks ago. Now that is something worth owning!

What whining? The author was laying out facts with his opinion thrown in, which many agree with.I find amusing that after your response you circle back to brag about the acquisition of an LP, one that is "worth" owning. So one would presume when the 192 Khz download becomes available very soon, it won't be "worth" owning, despite superior sound.
FYI, The 8 track market on Ebay is robust. Titles in middling condition are getting as much as new releases, and if in excellent condition, collector prices. Just take a look how much premium 7 ips reel to reel titles are going for. The Beatles Revolver is fetching $90.

If you want something to "own"... downloaded files aren't what you should be buying. Now... if you want something to listen to for the rest of yours and your offspring's lives- and listen to when and where you want, then, digital music files are great.
It's not like they (lawyers and courts) are taking away something you once had rights to. You know what the deal is before you spend your money. Make the decision and live with it. No one ever checks into a hotel and starts whining about not owning the room.
