iTunes is literally the same as streaming though.
You rent access to the content for as long as the platform wants.
DVD/Bluray are the solution to this… except not everything is released like that…
In the end, piracy wins… again… like it always has…
Ain’t that the truth. And honestly I don’t want to pirate media. I’d rather pay so I could support content creators, but I don’t want to support this “you don’t own anything, you’re only licensing it out temporarily from corporations and they can fuck you over any time they feel like it” bullshit either.
I really wish there was a way to just buy a digital file of a movie I want so I can have it on my plex
Right? That doesn’t sound like it’s a lot to ask
It makes sharing the media easier and the more media is shared, the less people have to buy it or pay to stream it. It’s just an attempt to throw a wrench into a situation that is gonna happen anyway.
Oh I get the rationale, but like you said it just slightly delays the inevitable
Counterpoint: I have never shared any DRM free media I got for a fair price with anyone else, because I respect them for that.
Anything I bought and got annoyed by DRM, or stuff I obtained in other ways is free for all.
Yeah I’ve had movies I “bought” on Apple disappear and they just offer a free rental when you finally notice and complain. They expect you to download everything you buy when you buy it and sync it between devices if you want to keep it.
