This event served to reinforce my belief that while streaming services and subscription-based platforms are nice, you should endeavor to download local DRM-free copies of the media you consume (wherever possible).
- iancmceachern 5y agoWe are slowly loosing ownership of our things. Cars don't work without cloud updates and roadside service when we get a flat, we can't play music that we've bought 3 times over on 3 different media's in our car without paying for it yet again, we can't even repair our own tractors.

- dv_dt 5y agoThat's the model of https://resonate.is/ https://resonate.is/ but I don't think they have the clout to license most of the major label music that the masses are interested in.
- CharlesW 5y agoSpotify has actively been embracing/extending/extinguishing podcasting for years, even calling their DRM-encumbered shows "podcasts" to confuse the technically illiterate. If you care about this, don't listen to DRM-encumbered shows. Cracking their DRM or transcoding the audio into a non-encumbered format does nothing because they still get their engagement data.
