The media are well ahead of you, its all about DRM now. You dont buy the
product to watch whenever you want wherever you want. You buy it to watch it
once, or watch it on one particular TV, or watch it within thirty days etc
etc.
You want to watch it again, you buy it again, as its a license you will be
leasing, not a tangible goods like a dvd ot cd.
