True: my idea is that you should have a short time (say, 24 hours) to "check" the content you downloaded. If you like it, you keep it; otherwise, you can have it switched with something else.
For "long-lasting art" that's not a problem: I have hundreds of DVDs and hundreds of CDs, and most of them have been played many times, over tens of years. All "classics" could be thought as belonging to this category.
For "short lifespan art" (e.g., blockbuster movies), 24 hours could exhaust all the useful life of the content, though. That's why (in a previous post) I proposed that media companies can tag such items as "non-exchangeable".
Of course they should not be allowed to tag all of their output this way ;-)
