ex. I could buy a movie on Amazon Prime, but can I download it independent of the app/site for watching on any PC at any time?

I want like .mp4 files (or modern equivalent), not some proprietary download from a streaming site that will expire after 30 days without subscription check.

Asking because pirate bay is the only place I really have torrented and several things I want are not available there.

simple article. It admits that the exact longevity is unknown still because of actual lime passage, but these things have a life span and degradation point.

To assume a recorded media doesnt have a degradation point will eventually cost you some data.
