>subscriptions only make sense for continuous services like server hosting providers
I totally agree, and that's actually the only service I actually pay for.
>music/movies? i should just be able to buy them and have them in my account (preferrably on my computer) forever.
As far as I know, for music Bandcamp actually does that, although it doesn't have more popular music, as other services have. I don't know about anything similar for movies and series.
