HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months agoBaseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:
They know all that. They want you to be able to only consume content the exact they they publish it.
That simplifies market analysis, removes the dilemma of supporting or not supporting some other way users want, and ideally selling the same thing a few times.
They want you to be able to only consume content the exact they they publish it.
And they have every right to do so. If you like it or not. You don’t own and have not created the protected content. On what basis are you deciding it should not be DRM protected?

morally, no. cartoon mouse says, yes.
On what basis are you deciding it should not be DRM protected?
they have literally given 3 of such bases

On the basis of having bought it. If they haven’t sold it but made such an impression, then they’ve committed a crime.
When you are buying a cure against all problems with miniscule text saying it’s just a metaphor, the seller is committing a crime. It’s the same here.
Morally. Regardless of how courts interpret this right now. That feature that courts and practice officially do not equal morality and thus we can decide differently this time, if we can provide an explanation, is the main advantage of English legal system and those descended from it over others.

Also baseless assumptions.

Agreed to disagree then. IMO, if a company thinks it’s OK to throw me over the dick hiding behind being afraid of shadows, deny me access to legally obtained content on my devices, walk back on previous deals, and so on, then I have no problem with getting unrestricted access to stuff they decided I don’t technically own. Fuck the fucker, simple as that.

By subscribing you agree to a contract. You made the mistake of signing it. The company is doing no shitty practice since everything is black and white in the contract. You just don’t like the contract. But the consequence should be to not sign it.

Yeah, right. Because those contracts are set in stone, and our corporate overlords won’t ever take away the advertised ability to download books you’ve paid for not to mention those very contracts being written in human-readable format and not lawyer speak. \s

Unconscionability says otherwise.

Even buying physical media, they claim you still don’t own the content, are only leasing it. It’s all bullshit to charge more and give us less. Stop defending this practice of studying consumer rights
