The other concern is censorship. Essentially a movie that you bought is on a server and then someone's decided that words, content, or scenes are no longer appropriate. The video, song, etc, is different from the original and without any notification. The old scenes get sent to the memory hole. Oh dear Winston, I fear we will meet soon!

Piracy is pretty much the only way the original Star Wars movies are still available.

"I am altering the movie. Pray I don't alter it any further." - George Lucas, probably.
