@chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Did they seriously put "PLAY HAS NO LIMITS" right under the announcement that you can no longer play your purchased movies due to the limits of a licensing arrangement?

@chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr @RangerRick@redwombat.social if purchases are rentals then copying isn’t theft.

@chrisoliver@indieweb.social I laughed out loud at "PLAY HAS NO LIMITS" at the bottom of the announcement. Seems like play has at least one limit. @pluralistic@mamot.fr

@chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr It should be illegal for companies to call it buying when it's clearly just a "rent-until-we-stop-caring"

@chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr That 'play has no limits' tag is just a wee bit ironic, eh?

@chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr The worst DRM experience that I've had was with ITunes. I was an early adopter and had purchased tons of music with DRM. When Apple finally switched, I was told that it would cost me $500 to convert my library. Haven't purchased DRM'd since, and I've kept anything important to me in text files. It's not just that proprietary formats are wrong from a political perspective -- you're also very likely to outlive them.

@chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr I once, just once, looked into Spotify's collection, specifically my favourite artist. Turned out they had a couple of albums from their oeuvre, some of the popular ones from just one of their labels. That settled it for me. #kthxbye :smily:

@chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr When it comes to games I like Itch.io because it is DRM free as well as gives more freedom to Devs and Players on how much they want to spend or how much they want to give to Itch.io

@chrisoliver@indieweb.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr sadly a lot of BlueRay players have remote wipe functionality, they can be rendered useless by the authorization server after you bought it. A bunch of BluRays require online DRM as well.
