For me, it's about practicality. There's no way in Hell I'm trusting the music I paid for online to stay put online, especially with all the possible glitches and hacks out there that can erase all of your music. I'm a big believer in backup -- a Plan B, and a Plan C. So I burn all my music to CDs/DVDs. For me, streaming isn't practical, because you won't be able to listen to the music you want to listen to without an internet connection. That's why although buying music and backing it up may be outdated, it's the best option. Plus, when the world turns to ruins, I'll be able to listen to all of my music while wearing a gas mask and defending my property with a shotgun from scavengers and rapists and anyone from Ferguson or Baltimore. Meanwhile, the music streamers will have nothing to listen to. Don't say No$tradamus didn't warn you, kids.
