Is Owning Your Music Important?
I’m working on a law paper for my IP class and I’m weighing an issue that I keep running into. Namely, How important is owning your music content? Let’s say you could subscribe to a service where you had access to ANY AND ALL music and it would play on any music device, your home stereo, your ipod, your car, your computer, etc. It costs $10/month, but if you don’t pay it, you stop getting access to music. Would you be interested?
I’m curious as to what value people put on owning their content. Do you think there is value in actually having a “copy” of your music on your hard drive? Let me know. Also, if you have specific thought please leave a comment!

I would sign up for the streaming service, with one caveat: I need to “own” a list of my favorite songs/playlists, so that I can pull stuff up on a whim. Half the fun of owning music is listening to stuff I forgot I had.
