    Also baseless assumptions.

    Btw, you don’t need to use whatever service you don’t own if you disagree with their practices. DRM is shit. But you’re not in any position to elevate yourself above that. You don’t own the services and you have not contributed in creating the protected content. You have no right to decide anything.

      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. 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.

          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 eroding consumer rights

            Nobody is eroding consumer rights. The consumer rights haven’t changed. Maybe it’s time to change that. Change legislation and stop pirating like monkeys.

              Accessing content I paid for isn’t pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven’t

              You are the one who elevates random terms of service above the law just because both parties “agreed” to them, not me.
