Ownership is one condition that a copyright holder might offer, but that's not guaranteed. Video rental shops would allow unlimited consumption for a limited time period, for example. We can argue all day about the differences and what consumers want versus the conditions under which content producers currently operate. I am personally also extremely frustrated by that, and I vote with my wallet: I do not subscribe to services that I find too restrictive or too expensive.

Where I am in the minority, however, is my position that copyright infringement is illegal, unethical and can in any way be legitimized.
