@chefx@defcon.social @chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr I love that saying that if buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.

@chefx@defcon.social @chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr We could use some kind of system where ownership of a movie sold (to own) is registered, and if one company turns evil or goes bust, other members of the scheme make sure it is still available to the buyer. But it would be *huge*, and probably prone to errors.

@chefx@defcon.social @chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr They will have it all buried in the EULA that you have to sign/click. It would be nice if someone had the time and money to take them to court to challenge the EULA. Just because something is written in a contract doesn't make it legal/fair or binding.

@chefx@defcon.social @chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr This is turbo annoying when it comes to physical devices that need an app to be useful. Lots of devices are being bricked because the vendor can’t be arsed to keep the servers running or provide an offline mode.
