But that is the whole point, "with the exception of keeping it." So now I'm renting everything and it's all accessible via the cloud... then my parents become ill and I spend the next ten years of my life looking after them... my income drops to near zero as state help isn't worth the paper it's printed on... now I can't afford to access the cloud and rent so I've got nothing except the books, computer(s), software etc that I own outright... they're mine not some faceless entity that decides I can no longer have access because I'm poorer...
