If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.
Yep courts should be forcing them to use the word "rent"
I love this quote. Imagine giving money to someone and getting nothing in return. fml
However, just because something isn’t for sale it doesn’t mean you aren’t stealing it.
Got it from the fediverse :p
I wouldn't use a purple drive, those are for security camera feeds.
Aka 24/7 read writes of video files. Purples are fine for achieving just pop an SSD cache in your server
The purple drives work well for any write-heavy workload that's constantly writing to disk. Surveillance is just the primary use case.
WHERE CAN I GET A 24 TB MEMORY DRIVE
Found it, and it's $630
You can buy drm free games to download and keep forever on gog.com, and music on bandcamp.com and qobuz.com
Btw if you buy a physical copy through bandcamp, you get digital download and streaming included
Yeah, but nothing ever for movies or series.
Even if you "buy" them it's only loaned until the service decides otherwise or dies.
Oh, didn't know about gobuz, thanks!
Itch.io too?
Let's be honest, who reads the terms and conditions when they buy something? And no lying.
There was even a court case where they acknowledged that nobody reads those IIRC.
Well you should own it.
Doesn't sound like its legal by EU laws...
I buy media to support the creators because the ad driven economy is killing the internet.
Yes, a large chunk of that doesn’t make it to the creators.
It’s still better than ad revenue by a large margin.
could? bothered to
Just buy a disk (still DRM but way less bad)
Didn't the EU just rule you have to be able to re-sell your digital copies? It's gonna get interesting!
