Since most of these 'what if' stuff are more about things 10-20 years in the future, I would think by then that if digital streaming/downloading has become mainstream, then I would imagine the laws would have updated to better detail the rights of the studio, provider and buyer of these digital sells. We are already seeing issues on what is and isn't allowed now. Hopefully in 10-20 years when these titles that are no longer on sale and not making money that it would force the providers to delete the digital file from the servers, that their would be laws to help insure ones purchase by allowing the person to download the digital file themselves by a certain date.
