    Lots of people out there don't care to have local copies of
    the music and movies they like anymore. They say their
    backup is The Pirate Bay or Netflix. Such shortsightedness.

    Spotify accomdates "local" copies. That's handy for times when
    [1] regular power is out and when a generator at the cottage is
    available, and when [2] there are people like me who don't have
    the 24/7 traditional DSL/satellite/cable internet services, but
    can then enjoy a few pre-saved playlists at any time.

    The vast collection of music that I have are either genuine
    local mp3 purchases or physical LPs and CDs, but I don't seem
    to play those as much anymore.
