Why not call it out for the bullshit that it is? “Sorry, but greedy bullshit capitalism has failed you as a customer. The lockouts they’ve put on their media to punish the honest users is doing its job once again to punish you. We sure hope this doesn’t lead you to find alternative ways to enjoy media without all of the DRM lockouts and garbage to punish you.”
The Streisand effect of this all is great. I can’t be the only one that found out about this app (and the repos) because of the stupid law suit right? Amazing that they went after the container instead of the contents.
Can’t wait for Glad or Rubbermaid to be C&D’d when the cops find contraband in one of their bags/bins.
I used to subscribe to streaming services but then they took all their content that I used to watch off - either to move to another streaming service or just “gone forever”.
If they don’t want the money I was giving them, why do they give a fuck if I pirate it? I tried to do things right and they told me they didn’t want my money.
The companies have almost successfully re-introduced the very problem that streaming originally solved.
It’s like this dipshits don’t want our money. I’ve always been firm that any content removed from streaming services is a message from that content company that they don’t want the money of the customers subscribed to said service and thus are okay with those people pirating it instead.
If they cared about the money, they’d had left the content there.
I’ve admitted kinda taken a backseat to piracy for the last while, and I’ve seen this term come up a ton. Is it just a remote server that you download all of your shit on?
I hate all three. Why do we need to the same dependencies in a thousand different places? There’s gotta be something better between typical software repos and these stupid packed applications.
So Sony sold them projectors, locked down their media, and then forces theatres to buy new projectors every x number of years to keep up with DRM? Sounds like a lot of unnecessary waste…
