*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be able to access the films and TV shows they had bought. *

    But Netflix never let me buy a movie or TV show. They just sell me access to their library for a limited time.

    I bought some music from Apple, DRM free and I downloaded it and have it on my own hard drive, and share it between all my devices.

    Apple also sells you access to their library for a limited time like Netflix, but then you’re not buying the songs, you’re buying access to them for a limited time.
