I don't mind paying for a book now for the potential to read it later. I don't finish all the books I start, and I have DVDs I bought two or three years ago that I haven't seen yet.

I buy content for two reasons: to gain later access, and to support the creators.

I don't own a single DVD I could not have pirated. I chose not to pirate them because it doesn't help the creators.
