if buying isnt owning then piracy is not stealing
Oh man, is this stupid sophomoric saying going to be the new parroted talking point of the people who can’t think for themselves?
chill, its just propaganda from big torrent
I guess I just understand that people can be stupid in groups even without a top-down approach.
Corporations only own what they’ve purchased because their wealth and power has been left unchecked and the largest source of their profits are overwhelmingly vast portions of lower-income wages. Bread & circuses bankrolled by corporations using loyal customer’s wealth
You will own nothing.
That’s it. That’s all they promise.
No one “promised” this. It was a thought-piece written by some one, neither endorsing or opposing it, with the intent of sparking a discussion about it. But good on you for parroting the talking point instead of thinking for yourself.
I don’t think you know what a thought piece is. There is no analysis or opinion from the author.
Plus when people share their take on it, you just accuse them of parroting talking points. You have added nothing to this conversation past various forms of “you’re wrong,” with only insults to serve as counter points.
That said, if you want to try to explain to us why you feel a corporation taking away access to something that was bought is fair and just, I’m all ears and more than willing to have the discussion with you that you claim to want.
The only advice I’ll take from you is your username.
I hope customer protection will eventually force new terms on the “you buy the rights to view a movie which can be revoked anytime without reason”. Like, given that most digital offers are priced nearly as high as their physical counterparts, there should be a law that the right must be given for at least 50 years or so.
I think that that would be hard to make work from a business standpoint. Too hard to reserve enough cash to operate for 50 years; businesses can go under.
Maybe just buy the physical movie.
I mean, a Blu-Ray or whatever is popular these days movie plus a player is self-contained and will keep working as long as you don’t damage one or the other.
People still use fifty year old vinyl records.
Are they not obligated to refund? They’re basically just throwing out their customers’ shit without permission.
Disk is cheap. Always get a copy of whatever it is you “buy”. If that’s somehow not possible, consider the purchase a short-term rental.
I got PS Plus Premium in February for $120/year, months later they increased the price significantly. I don’t intend to renew my subscription, but now I simply don’t intend to purchase Sony games or digital media anymore. They’ve done this before, can’t remember when. They’re enforcing the argument for piracy by stealing media from their customers.
Stremio-well
