Yup and yes fire or damage of course is always there, nothing in life is permanent. But I am more comfortable with the idea i could step on a cd and break it than the company i bought it from just were to make it so i cant listen to it anymore (in reference to online libraries).This is about the only "real" way to protect yourself and "prove" right to use. Of course, doesn't prevent fire, destruction, theft, etc.... but still, better than other methods out there.
Even when the producer, owner, etc. of the music on the media sells off, merges, changes direction, or dies, etc.... your media continues to work.
One of the reasons we that also dabble in the risky business of things like bandcamp (for example) are a bit concerned over Epic's recent acquisition of them (just make sure to download and preserve your content)
Even steam although i have a lot in it, still makes me nervous at times. But with games i have a bunch of discs from when they first started on cds and havent touched them since, music and movies i always go back to though.
