Ownership rights are buried in the fine print and downloading or buying physical copies may be the only ways to keep your favourites

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be able to access the films and TV shows they had bought. *

    The idea that you could trust a corporation, any corporation, at its word is laughable on its face

    We’re surrounded by corporate entities all trying to leech profit out of us.

    It’s less a question of trust and more of information alternatives. When all you can hear is the din of advertisement, it’s difficult to chart a path through the racket.

    You’re bound to get suckered by someone, eventually.
