I just don't want to OWN video of any sort. Not movies, music, tv shows 
- none of it. I just want to be able to watch it once or occasionally  a 
repeat viewing. Put in on Netflix or iTunes so I can stream it. The 
physical manufacturing and distribution model is so 20th century! Get 
with the subscription model baby, the long tail and all that...

I do own ~15 DVDs of stuff that were gifts, or aren't/weren't available 
for streaming. I do download YouTube videos of 60s/70s performances (mp4 
files via Greasemonkey script "Download YouTube Video") as they tend to 
disappear rapidly, but they're stored on on disk (multiple offsite 
backups - terabyte USB-2 disks are <$100).

NP: Spooky Tooth - Spooky Two (1st listen in 35 years, vinyl long-gone, 
found on a blog, some gems there - "Feelin Bad" for one). For some 
reason I always equated them with Steve Marriott, but it's Gary Wright 
as the 2nd keyboardist.
