On top of what's already been said about technological literacy and security, I'd like to add that I WANT to support the artists who make things I like but the companies selling their works tend to ruin the experience by trying to squeeze every dime out of you.

For the last decade or so, digital storefronts have provided a pretty good experience, but it's starting to get a lot worse as the old companies go public and become beholden to shareholders, or as new companies enter the arena and split up what was once available all in one place.
