Both require a license and that license is revocable in both cases. It's pretty much impossible to enforce the legal use of physical media, so they don't. Rather, they go after those making copies.
If you ever want to REALLY own your media, make sure it is physical.
But I still don't really own it even if I have it physically since the license can be revoked, right?
Like, I get I could still watch it, sure...but it would be illegal if the license is revoked. So why would I deal with physical media at all since I can also just watch a downloaded torrent without licensing too. It's the same thing. Except one of them doesn't produce a bunch of plastic for literally no reason.
You’re not important enough for them to try to get a DVD or PS disk from your home. Amazon is important enough for them to take back everyone’s purchase in one go.
