You don't need physical media. You can buy and download flac files. It's the ownable asset part that is important, not the physical part.

    This is true. The thing is, all data needs a medium.

    It doesn't matter if you own a file sitting in a hard drive or a disc sitting in a box. Discs are nicer because you get a thing you can put on a shelf to act as a backup of the file you dump from it. Plus they often come with nice extras. If you don't think things on shelves are nice your priorities may be different.
