So you purchase "the rights" to media content, and then the physical storage device is lost. What's next? What are your rights?

The all-in-one personal computer will be under attack in the next decade.
Mabye even lost.
Companies will sway consumers to purchase proprietary platforms for specific uses, and then you're stuck purchasing McApple product versions for everything.
Change companies, and you'll have to start from scratch.

It's "AOL Internet" all over again.
