That is correct. It is your responsibility to back up your data to a DVD-R, backup drive or online backup.

For some people, those who make multiple back-ups and store them in different physical locations, this may actually be more secure than a physical disc which can be stolen, broken, burned, etc.

Many people, however, do not make adequate backups, or if they do will keep them all in the same location. For these people, the risks of loss are greater with downloads.

I have an amazing box in my living room that allows me to do that now.

I believe the person who sold this magical device to me called it a tel'e viz eon!

A truly remarkable device that I believe everyone will have in their livingrooms in the land of tomorrow!

Actually the magical device to which you refer is a Dee-Vee-Are. The tel'e viz eon only allows realtime streaming at a date and time of the content providers choice.
