So, if you bought a DVD licensed by Sony, can they now legally enter your house and take your DVD?
Or can Sony have some sort of DRM that prevents the DVD from playing when Sony loses the license agreement?
I’m just trying to reconcile how digital purchases can be subject to license terms changes, while a DVD apparently can’t be.
The sad part is when piracy makes a superior product.
It has done for many years
It hasn’t for a while, Netflix pretty much solved piracy. And then everyone copied them and made the market so shitty that piracy is superior again.
Netflix was never better than piracy overall. It was better at two things: immediate access over having to wait for a torrent to finish and not having to store any media yourself. It’s also worse at a number of things, so I’d say at best it was equal overall. Now, it’s much much worse, and piracy has only gotten better.
I mean, you’re right, but I’m as well - piracy was declining because Netflix was just easier. And that’s what matters.
But yeah, the golden days of Netflix are over (and have been for a while).
This is the take that has pushed me back into pirating. The streaming market is just way too saturated these days.
No, fuck Netflix.
Ever been halfway through a show and had it pulled? I have, more than once.
Netflix is basically a “try before you archive” service.
That sounds like an entirely different issue to what we’re discussing.
Netflix can’t solve piracy when it removes things you want to watch. Meaning the best option is to pirate from Netflix, and then watch at your leisure.
The idea that it “solved” anything is a joke, when it’s also directly helped encourage piracy.
Have you even tried to read all of my comment or did you just come here to repeat stuff over and over?
Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear: you’re wrong and stupid.
Well, at least your username makes sense now.
It always has.
