You know I agree with you to some point on ownership. Downloads that are limited to one device are not the smartest of purchases. I use Vudu right now, I rent HD titles for 5.99 (actually 3.99 for catalogue titles, SD rentals start at 99c).
Buying movies on disc (especially with the inflated cost of blu-ray) is a false economy. Trust me, I own thousands. My need to buy was driven by the fact I could access anything from my library at any time I felt like watching it. Well, guess what, I have access to a library of 10,000 plus movies right now over the net and I don't feel much of a desire to keep buying discs.
Plus the concept of 'ownership' you describe is something of a fallacy. You don't own the movie the studios do, you own a digital copy on a DVD or blu-ray with very, very limited rights on how, when and where you are allowed to watch it. Read the warnings at the start!
