I don't have the space. I have bought a few digital copies of films where the price was the same as renting it and it wasn't available to stream on the single streaming service I actually pay for. But I don't hold much stock in the idea that translates to ownership. The thing is, I've owned albums on CD and damaged or lost them, and I don't "own" those anymore because I only owned that copy. I've also owned plenty of games and DVDs and I've no idea where those are either. Meanwhile I went to buy Dungeon Keeper on GOG when I had some unplanned "time off" work, and it turns out I already bought it years ago. So perhaps digital ownership does work a little bit, sometimes.
This is where the high seas come in. Digital copy, your the owner. (i ofc mean copies of things you paid for and used the high seas to backup)
I'm not as talented as I used to be in that regard. It all seems pretty inaccessible nowadays.
