Everything should allow you to download what you purchased. The fact that the music industry has pushed streaming so goddamn hard is because they're mad that people can still download MP3s.

And above all of this, let's not forget that a major negotiating point of the Hollywood strike was getting residuals per stream, something that never existed when people actually had their own media. It's greed on every single side in that corrupt, hell town and I'm at the point where I don't even watch TV or movies any more, not only because it all sucks, but because of this bullshit. The greed and the corruption needs to be punished.
