That's why I only buy shows/movies on Blu-ray or DVD. I'm not paying a similar price to that and risk having it taken away at some point.
EDIT: And if that isn't a reasonable option, I can probably download a DRM-free version of the movie from some "movie preservationist".
- emodendroket 4y agoThen you can deal with unskippable advertisements before you can watch your movie you paid for. But at least the video quality is better.
- throwaway2037 4y agoI think it is reasonable to buy the DVD or BluRay, then download DRM-free rip from PirateBay with same resolution. I think the same is fair if you bought a digital lifetime license (as we just learned: "not really") from Amazon. Then if Amazon steals your copy and does not refund you, you still have a copy. Has anyone ever tried to sue Amazon in small claims court for a "disappeared" film? I guess Amazon will force arbitration, but you have a good case in arbitration. All you want is either: the original digital film, or a refund of original payment. This could be arbitrated very quickly since the sum is so small.
- emodendroket 4y agoAre we imagining that every digital storefront does not explicitly grant them permission to remove stuff in the EULA?
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoI am imagining most EULAs won't hols up in a legal court. Maybe it would in forced arbitration.
- brewdad 4y agoI gave in and bought a copy of MakeMKV. I rip my discs and don't see the ads anymore.
