Combining the movie ticket metaphor with the cable service metaphors is on the right track. Keep in mind that both imply a level of verification required: In the case of movies, the ticket; in the case of cable TV, the house itself (since it almost always stays put) and/or the cable decoder box. We'd need an appropriate version of those metaphors to apply to whatever we use to establish accounts and/or read the files.

That'll be done with a logon/device setup. To use Amazon's Cloud for an example, it'll know who's Fire is attached to whose account. (And you will be able to change/add other
Amazon machines...
They'll even fine you for copyright violations and send part of the money to the big providers. Not Amazon currently, but Apple's cloud charges for uploading and maintaining music not on their valid playlists ($24 a year), and split the amount with the big music companies. (And this gives them marketing data on what non-big music acts to sign....)
And everybody a happy corporate slave.....
