Meeh, I’ve had so many things in life taken away from me at some point that I just stopped caring to be honest 🤷. I just keep an open mind now (or at least try to) and am more like “oh, no more of that huh… ok, let’s see what was next on my to do list”.
My mom always told me “people can take away everything from you, money, status, freedom… one thing they can never take away - your mind”.
I can’t find it now, but there is an Existential Comic that addresses this attitude perfectly. The philosopher is talking about how he always has some form of freedom, so he gets chained to a wall in a dungeon, and then he says “at least I still have the freedom to interpret my situation!”
Ah, yes, I saw that commic somewhere, I think someone posted it on Lemmy, but there was a twist to it at the end… can’t remember what it was, but it was funny 😂.
Ummm… not exactly, they sell shit and then take that shit away from you when they see fit. If that’s not illegal, then me circumventing their DRM for my own personal use most definitely isn’t.
Plus, it really is legal to do RCE for your own personal use. It’s illegal to share that info.
I think you are mixing up illegal with unethical. I strongly disagree that any level of DRM warrants piracy. If you don’t like a company having power over you its time to seek alternatives.
Yes, and it is unethical as you are totally disregarding the copyright owner. You should buy DVDs and bluerays as that’s the sweet spot for cost vs control.
This where you and I differ. I can cross that threshold if I’m motivated enough (have done it before). I’d do it just for the f u’s if nothing else. And share it as an ultimate f u.
Honestly DRM is bad and should be rejected. That means no Spotify, Netflix or Denuvo.
Hell, I’m down with that, I don’t use any of that.
Exactly it can be very hard to break away for some people but once you do its a breath of fresh air.

The person who chained him to the wall asks “And how do you interpret this situation?” He replies “it sucks.”
Yes, that was it 🤣🤣🤣.
It should be circumvented, not rejected.
That’s illegal
That’s a good fucking image.
I need that as an animated gif.
Have fun consuming media then
No.

And piracy is so bad because… It’s illegal?
