From what I understand, the problem with digital media is that you don't own it. You're renting the right to view it. There's some kind of locking code? that only lets you download the file so many times, and the way devices brick/need upgrading, the files themselves get corrupted...

I'm somewhat suspicious of the concept. Especially having videotapes in decent working order from the late 80s, and yet I hear people having problems with downloads constantly. I suppose it would save room for something you might watch once or twice, but I personally wouldn't trust it for fannish archiving something you plan to keep for years.

Sorry to hear yMW is being a brat-cat.
