Hard decision, but going all digital.

Type A may be just as passionate of film fans as people who are buying physical media, they're just gullible and overly trusting of giant corporations. No company has ever continued to support and spend money on products that haven't made a profit in years and they aren't going to start doing that now with streaming.

Type B clearly aren't as passionate about film. Anyone who doesn't mind if some of their favorite films disappear obviously doesn't care that much about them in the first place.

The vast majority of customers likely fall into category B. But most people posting on forums like this likely fall into category A.

Yea I need more meat on that bone to buy it, most people don’t trust big companies regardless of the service/product that is provided, capitalism has 1 priority and its not to make its customers/consumers satisfied but to profit from them. That being said don't confuse someone being gullible for someone having confidence in a company to provide them with a service /product that will suit their needs.

Your type A/B is wrong, there is no “one size fits all” label that you can use against someone. There are multiple factors for someone feeling/doing something that caters to them. None of my movies have ever been lost or had any issues. I even own movies that are not available in the US store anymore any they are fine. I have only heard of movies going missing from an account for region issues where you would need to use a different account to access it. In that rare event itunes will work something out with you. Can it happen, I’m sure it can, just like someone loosing or damaging a disc. There are a lot of what if’s, I just care that people are watching movies digitally/physically and we as consumers work together to continue building this community so all sided can benefit. Even though I have gone all digital, I will always support our brothers/sisters who are/go physical because I would want there support in return.
