Unless somebody kicks down my door and takes them, they're mine.
Mine, I tell you.
BTW, there have been disputes between artists and content providers which have resulted in the artists pulling their music.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

streaming services, yes.
Not attempting to hack into my network to delete purchased content. Paranoia is you.
Remember when Microsoft terminated its e-book system? You bought a book from MS, you lost it when the service ended.
No refund required, though MS did offer $25 credit towards any of its other products.
Problems with Apple and Music (replacement for iTunes) are voluminous.
Why put up with all that bullshit for just a little bit of convenience?
When I put up my money for music, I want to own it, not borrow it. The DRM Act needs major revisions. Give consumers some rights, I'll ditch my own physical collection.

You continue to talk about internet based streaming service challenges - and I acknowledge that content is subject to change.
The notion that Amazon, Bandcamp, CD Universe, HD Tracks, Qobuz, Presto Classical, and host of other music download services will *attempt* to hack into your network and delete that which you've legally purchased from them, however, is simply crazy.
Obviously, you have zero experience in that matter. The only bullshit is coming from your paranoia.
Once it's downloaded, either music or e-books or whatever, no one is going to take it off of your laptop/network.

Not true with ebooks. There was an Amazon Kindle incident a few years back in which they removed purchased copies of George Owell's 1984 novel from users' Kindles. It was a complicated situation. A book seller had uploaded electronic copies of the book without permission from the real copyright owner. That's what triggered Amazon's action -- they removed the copies and refunded the purchase.
With streaming services, you don't "download" a copy of the music, it simply plays in real time, and when the song finishes, there is nothing on your computer or streamer to remove.
If you actually buy a copy of the file and download, you're free to back it up and keep an offline copy that no one can get to unless they gain physical access to your home.
I would think not.
My concern would be losing data. Hard drives fail. files on hard drives get corrupted from time to time or even accidentally erased. Shit does happen. Preserving digital data is a real world issue. Of course it does have solutions. But the idea that the fear of losing digital data is just a phobia is a bit off the mark and insulting to Old dude. If you do lose a download and there is no replacement available from the original merchant you are SOL.
Let's not forget, we live in an era of disposable digital hardware. No one keeps the same CPU for 20-30 years. Things fall through the cracks if one is not careful with their data and their data transfers when chaning hardware. And yes, I have heard of the cloud....
