lol so Amazon Prime announces they're moving everyone by default to an ad supported tier unless you pay more, and now Disney+ is also introducing an ad supported tier as well as account sharing/login restrictions on devices outside your home a la Netflix.

Media companies you had an ecosystem where you could still make money and it was cheaper than cable and more convenient than "piracy" so us consumers were all for it.

"Piracy" was basically defeated and now the tides are rising again.... 🤣

@totalclaireity Funny how this continues to be relevant.

@kkarhan @faoluin @totalclaireity if paying isn’t owning, it’s rent - so you aren’t stealing but squatting

@brezelradar @faoluin @totalclaireity Nope.

I just don't sign any contract that isn't to my.terms.nor use any services with unacceptable ToS!

You know physical media without DRM are a thing?

@kkarhan @faoluin @totalclaireity paying a monthly fee pretty to get access to something seems pretty much like rent to me

@brezelradar @faoluin @totalclaireity
Unlike housing there's no law forcing me to have a lease.

The comparison is also bad because my landlord doesn't add and espechally doesn't get to remove features at will from the leased condo.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] also that comparison is bs and you know it: #Housing is a #HumanRight - access to Entertainment Media is not! https://norden.social/@brezelradar/111150249596437821
