This whole can o (vanishing) worms is terrible. Probably why I still insist on buying hard media (CD, DVD, Bluray).
Those LP's and 45's I bought in High School, Open Reel Tapes bought when I wis in the Navy, Laser discs, CD, DVD's all still work (OK, I did lose a Laser to 'laser rot').
My paperbacks still are there in plastic totes in the store room.
The point is, it will be an 'Act of God', not the whim of business, that renders them unusable.
