If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing.
Yep courts should be forcing them to use the word “rent”
Can I steal this quote?
If commenting isn’t owning, then copying it isn’t stealing!
And then I definitely didn’t steal this from the fediverse!
I saw that exact quote the other day in a piracy thread. First time I’d seen it… nice to be there when a meme is born.
I love this quote. Imagine giving money to someone and getting nothing in return. fml
However, just because something isn’t for sale it doesn’t mean you aren’t stealing it.
Got it from the fediverse :p
I wouldn’t use a purple drive, those are for security camera feeds.
I wondered why the hdd changed colors from my inbox to seeing it here. Lol
Because I’m a ninja.
I just punched in 12tb drive and that was the first one. I could drop in a 4gb scsi drive instead?
WD Red for data hoarding/NAS. People like Barracuda drives as well but I’ve had bad luck with Seagate reliability in the past.
Also, purples tend to cost more because they are rated for surveillance.
My memes deserve WD gold.

Now you’re talking
LOL
Aka 24/7 read writes of video files. Purples are fine for achieving just pop an SSD cache in your server
The purple drives work well for any write-heavy workload that’s constantly writing to disk. Surveillance is just the primary use case.
WHERE CAN I GET A 24 TB MEMORY DRIVE
Found it, and it’s $630
You can buy drm free games to download and keep forever on gog.com, and music on bandcamp.com and qobuz.com
Btw if you buy a physical copy through bandcamp, you get digital download and streaming included
Yeah, but nothing ever for movies or series.
Even if you “buy” them it’s only loaned until the service decides otherwise or dies.
Oh, didn’t know about gobuz, thanks!

You can buy your own Blu Rays and DVDs, and rip them onto a Plex/Jellyfin server.
what if you buy like a blu-ray
Itch.io too?
Let’s be honest, who reads the terms and conditions when they buy something? And no lying.
I read it on important/big purchases, but definitely not on video games.
If they revoke my license, then I’ll just pirate it.
If they revoke your license you should get a full refund tbh.
If it’s worth $n to access something, then the damages for revoking it should also be $n.
Looking at Playstation
Thanks for my $3 for taking away my ability to run linux on PS3 :(
There was even a court case where they acknowledged that nobody reads those IIRC.
Well you should own it.
Doesn’t sound like its legal by EU laws…
I buy media to support the creators because the ad driven economy is killing the internet.
Yes, a large chunk of that doesn’t make it to the creators.
It’s still better than ad revenue by a large margin.
could? bothered to
Just buy a disk (still DRM but way less bad)
