You mean just like the music I buy on iTunes? Oh wait, it's not protected by DRM.
No, I get what you meant, I just think you are wrong. Even if we switch from physical media to digital (they still make cd's and DVD's btw), that doesn't imply that content providers will sudden start refusing to sell. Many people still prefer to buy over stream. As long as content providers can make some extra bucks selling, they will.
Also, we are a long, long way from always being connected and there are many parts of the world, heck many parts of the US and Canada that have issues getting reliable, fast internet. Once you get outside the built up urban areas, it's pretty expensive to provide fast internet in the US.
