Today, Star Wars gets re-released yet again. This time, it’s coming to iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. Whether or not you’ve already bought this specific collection a dozen times, digital libraries aren’t going away. But is it worth buying from them？
There is no shortage of ways to purchase a movie these days. However, conventional wisdom has typically suggested that buying a movie from an online library to gain streaming rights isn’t the best idea. Before we talk about why it might be okay to get an online version, it’s only fair to go over the common objections :
You don’t really own it: When you buy a Blu-Ray, you own it. It stays inside your house, you can watch it as much as you want, and you won’t have to pay again for access later on. With digital libraries, your access can be revoked.
Big companies (and their servers) can fail: When you buy a movie from Amazon, you can stream it from their servers as much as you want. But what if those servers go down? Tech companies shutter services all the time and there’s no knowing when a company will go out of business. You only get those movies for as long as those companies are capable and willing to provide it to you.
You need an internet connection just to watch your library: For decades, if you bought a VHS tape, DVD, or Blu-Ray, you could watch your movie without the internet. Now, if Comcast craps the bed, your entire media library is gone. Worse yet, if you have a slow connection, that HD film starts looking like it was shot in Potat-O-Vision.
You can get digital version free with Blu-Rays anyway: Some (though not even most) hardcopy movies come with free “digital” copies. Unlock codes can give you access to films on sites like iTunes, Vudu, or others. If you can have both, why spend $20 on just one?
Of course, everyone will have their own objections, but these are some of the most common, and they’re all valid concerns. However, in our rush to poke holes in the digital library method, we may have overlooked a few things. And, for the sake of this discussion, we’re going to assume that it’s worth paying for media under fair circumstances.
Digital Movies Are More Convenient Than Ever
There was a time when buying a movie on iTunes meant that you could watch it on your computer, maybe your iPod and that was about it. However, that only covers a small portion of use cases. Most of us want to watch movies on the couch in our living room, on a tablet, or even our phones.
Today, that’s more possible than ever. Personally, I have a heavy foothold in the Google ecosystem, which means I have an Android phone, tablet, Chromecast, and web browser where I may want to watch a movie. One movie purchase to the Google Play Store means that I can watch that film on any of those screens. If I were to go out and buy the Blu-Ray of that movie, I would have to rip it to my computer , add it to my own media server , and take responsibility for making sure that computer always has an internet connection with sufficient upload speed. Or I could format the file to be optimized for playback on my phone and take up space on my internal storage, which is even more cumbersome.
Now, to be fair, that process is simpler than ever. But it also means that if you want to watch your movies on any device besides a dedicated Blu-Ray player, you have a lot of extra work to do. Work that’s technically illegal , by the way. While few around these parts have a serious moral quarrel with ripping movies you bought, it does mean you have fewer easy options since the software to do it is also illegal. Put another way, you’re not going to be able to rip a Blu-Ray with iTunes any time soon.
If you want to pay money to have “permanent” (we’ll come back to that) access to a movie, you don’t really have a more convenient option than buying from an online library. In fact, the only real hangup is matching your ecosystem. If you buy from Amazon Instant Video, you can’t stream to a Chromecast. iTunes movies won’t work on an Amazon Fire TV Stick. And Google’s had to work out some sneaky backdoor shenanigans to get Play Movies onto Apple TV. But if you have a fairly consistent set of devices, you shouldn’t have too many problems.
