Digital Movie Scam

 I love physical media.  Streamers do not always play the movies I want to see.  Older movies are becoming scarce for some of the awful stories Hollywood is putting out.  I am always looking for movies to add to my collection.  Recently, I bought The Blues Brothers and F1.  Both in 4k and both had a digital copy.  When I go to add them, I discover that I have to have an Apple TV subscription.  I don't have one.  I don't want one.  This is their new way to force loyalty to a company.  I guess that also means that they can take away the digital copy whenever they want.  I read the other day that Sony did just that with people that had bought certain titles through their Playstation Store.  They are also going away from discs for their new game stations.  I guess we will be renting and having nothing to show for it.  I am lucky my kids are not into gaming.
