I like owning my media. The idea that I can pay Amazon/Apple/Google for a piece of media and they can subsequently yank it out of my library down the line because they lost their license to distribute it does not sit well with me. I imagine it doesn't sit well with alot of people, either.
Until the dominant form of distribution allows people to OWN their music, I believe that piracy will persist.
