"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when things you "own" digitally become inaccessible, and when shows which are locked in streaming services can get delisted on a whim, disappearing forever.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.
[Edit: In case this wasn't clear, this is about entertainment and digital ownership, not physical goods]
For a while now digital ownership has felt more like borrowing but that is not how it's advertised.
Piracy seems to be the only way to make sure things stick around.
And don't get me started on the blockchain, as those things would still need to be hosted somewhere that can disappear just as well. That is a solution looking for a problem.
The issue with technology in general is that there's so much focus on the positive traits that the negative traits are either downplayed or completely ignored. Another thing I've observed is tech is used/invented to solve a problem, and while it solves that specific problem, it often creates new and unforseen problems that tech once again has to solve for, it's a vicious cycle
