And this is why I refuse to give up on owning media and relying on streaming. Discord seems to be gone, as well.

This is why? Because once every year or two it'll be unavailable for a couple of hours?

This is why I have Spotify AND YouTube Music. More consumerism is always the answer! /s

You don't own media, you just pay for the right to listen/see it. A subtle but important difference. Just like software with a license granting the right to use that software.

Now of course, technically, Warner can't go after your CD collection, just like Adobe couldn't refuse you to use your boxed copy of Photopshop pre-CC...
