Well, that's what the court case is about. I would certainly _like_ for the result of the case to be either Apple (Amazon, et al) stops using the word "Buy" in their apps, or better yet but even more unlikely, for the companies to start providing media as DRM-free downloads.
But like I said: the cynic in me says neither is going to happen.
- Mindwipe 6y agoThere is zero chance of DRM free downloads. Literally zero.
- vbsteven 6y agoIn which context? Services like Qobuz and Bandcamp support DRM-free downloads for your purchases so it is definitely possible. IMHO chances for DRM-free downloads from Apple are very very slim. But not zero.
- Mindwipe 6y ago> In which context? In the context of "as a direct consequence of this lawsuit." Which, y'know, is pretty obvious from the parent comment it's a reply to? Given downloads are possible even with DRM, that isn't even raised in the suit itself. The lawsuit hinges on the loss of availability of further streaming of the titles. There is literally zero chance.
- nfriedly 6y agoTo be fair, it did happen with music. I think DRM-free movies are unlikely to happen, but I wouldn't put the odds at zero.
- hokuem 6y agoYou can buy movies on Vimeo 100% DRM free. It’s the only place I buy them.
