It’s fucking nuts that service providers can just remove your purchases like this without refunds.

@gamingonlinux In this case, piracy may be a necessary evil for watching the lost content.

Edit: apparently, I struck a nerve with this toot.

@Ertain @gamingonlinux If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing.
@jordan_kendrick @Ertain @gamingonlinux not sure about other countries, in France digital content piracy is not stealing, it's counterfeiting. That is only an offense if you actually share your copy with others, especially if you make money out of that sharing.
@jordan_kendrick @Ertain @gamingonlinux also you never bought the digital content if it has any form of DRM. You rented a limited license to access the content.
@jhelou @jordan_kendrick @Ertain @gamingonlinux
The phrase alarms many people in different ways, but the Robotcache games distribution platform actually sells you games drm-free, *and* allows you to resell them (on-platform) if you tire of them. They use (and here's that phrase) "block-chain" tech to track the ownership changes.
