This is why I have turned to libgen, torrents, and Usenet for my books and other media.
I would pay for my content if I actually got to own it. But no, ironically I have a greater sense of ownership by obtaining my content via alternative means than the traditional legal means.
The only media that I still have on streaming services is music. Spotify is just so damn convenient. I need to find a way to move off it though, as over the years I’ve found many of my favorite albums just disappear as Spotify ends licensing deals or whatever.
- macjohnmcc 6y agoIf we are going to be subject DRM and on par or worse pricing on ebooks they should at least update the contents on them for a year or so in exchange. Their cost of distribution is zero and their cost of duplication is zero. Give a little in exchange. I would buy more paper books if I also got the PDF for on the go or just for the convenience to search.
