I'm starting to think you're a bot. You most definitely said it was fraud to the user. No, I'm not going to go buy a mechanical blueray player and then try to figure out how to rip that content to be able to use it how I want. If you think anyone is really going to follow your needlessly complicated advice then you're in for a rude awakening. You can keep beating this drum all day long but your attitude (and Sonys) is why piracy is going up. If you want to hang on the "you agreed to it" bull then then that's up to you. More and more people are done caring though and there is nothing you can say to change that. Companies that put out crap terms are getting what they deserve. Your solution is no solution. Buying physical media in 2023 is just not acceptable.
He's not only a bot he's also full of shit.
Just went to confirm what I remembered: At least on Amazon you get zilch info that what you are buying is revokable unless you read the fine print in the EULA. There is no warning, no hint, no nothing that what you just bought is only a permanent rental license. Neither in the UI nor in the bill after the purchase
You’re right. Behind this ruggedly handsome exterior is ChatGPT. What a moron.
Piracy is not going up. You’re dreaming. What’s going up is the cost of everything and what’s going down is our ability to own anything and the fault lays at the feet of people like you. This “I’m agreeing to it but don’t think I have to follow it” attitude is exactly how we got into this situation in the first place. It’s exactly why Sony and MS released digital versions of their consoles that guarantee that you don’t own anything you buy and why everything is now a monthly subscription. Thanks a lot for that, asshole.
And my solution is a solution because at least it’s one that works as opposed to the one you’re offering that doesn’t work at all. I have an entire collection of physical media that they can’t take away from me. What do you have? Nothing, apparently, and you’ve even lost money because they just took your money and ran. Great job.
