Buying when you can Stream?

What makes you purchase certain anime that you own, when you can stream them online 24/7 for free? I'm just curious because out of all the anime I've streamed, I still have not bought much. I don't even own 10% of the anime that I have streamed. What makes you to buy that certain anime series?

I like to own hard copies of things I like. Same reason I still buy CD's or records or hardback books. I also like film cameras. Theres something almost sensual about physical things like that that is missing in a digital copy online or on your hard drive. For an extreme example: I enjoy porn but much more aporeciate a real woman, even from a physical sense.

As silly as it sounds I like owning a library of anime and would like to keep building upon it. Box art is the best.
