Is the EU really doing a crackdown on unlocked bootloaders? If so, what does this mean for postmarketos adoption? (and digital ownership, and fighting e-waste?) https://archive.is/2025.08.04-071837/https://www.sammobile.com/news/the-real-reason-behind-samsungs-one-ui-8-bootloader-unlock-ban-is-an-eu-law/

Maria Bustillos @maria & the Brick House team are the creative minds behind BRIET, a new exchange that invites publishers to sell eBooks to libraries, allowing libraries to own them, not just license them. Several indie publishers are already on board.

📈 Piracy is rising fast—and it's not just nostalgia.
🔹 15+ billion piracy site visits in 2023
🔹 Software piracy remains ~37%
🔹 Music piracy jumped 13% in a year
🔹 Streaming piracy up 36% since 2020
Why the increase?
Subscription fatigue
Rising costs across SaaS and entertainment
Fragmented content (too many platforms)
DRM is punishing legit users
Loss of ownership in digital goods
People aren’t just stealing—they’re pushing back.
When paid options are worse than pirated ones, the system is broken. Time to rethink value, access, and trust.

I'm noticing a rise in software, media, and game piracy again. Why?
Because people are fed up.
SaaS fatigue. Subscription overload. Constant price hikes with minimal improvements. Products we never truly "own." DRM that breaks more than it protects.
It’s no longer just about "getting it free"—for many, it’s a protest. When Photoshop is $30/month and requires internet to launch, and movies are split across 6+ overpriced services, people will rebel.
We’ve modernized the tools, but repeated the mistake:
Make access too expensive or too frustrating, and piracy becomes a more ethical experience.
People don’t want to be free. They want fairness.
