AmyKids this is a reminder to collect physical copies of your favorite media. Corporations will axe your favorite show/movie/book in front of its family and make it a felony to retrieve it. Have a library.
myownpetard blue checkmark@lolennui i like to own CDs because they'd have to come into my house to steal my music back. and i've gone back to paper books--they have the added benefit of not being tied to a specific technology that might go poof.
armin@myownpetard @lolennui Isn“t CD, just in fact, a technology that went poof long ago?
snickerbockersumm....no? you can definitely still buy working CD-ROM drives, I did earlier this year
CD also has the unique advantage that you can rip it to get a DRM-free lossless copy of all the music.
@snickerbockers @myownpetard @lolennui That's not too bad, but why not choose a DRM free lossless format in the first place? Hard drives are pretty cheap these days.
@armin @snickerbockers @lolennui the artists don't get paid for DRM-free media so i stopped doing that a while back
@myownpetard @snickerbockers @lolennui You think they get paid for DRMed media? I got a bunch of tunes on Spotify and never made a penny.
@armin @snickerbockers @lolennui that's why i buy CDs. spotify is only there to make money for themselves.
@myownpetard @snickerbockers @lolennui Well I got 5 CDs and those are my very own releases, I'll buy the 12" of your tune if it's available for sure, though. :)
@armin @snickerbockers @lolennui yeah... getting indi artists distributed and paid is a problem i don't know a solution for. wish i did because it fcking sucks!
