It’s a stupid point though because if their hard drive breaks or they otherwise lose access to the file they have to return to whoever they bought the music from and hope they can still download it.

Proper backups are your responsibility anyway.

Also I do use streaming - for discovery of new tracks. I was talking about a) paying for this service only to be restricted more than if you didn't; and b) people who have their WHOLE collection depend on a streaming service.
