even IF you buy DRM free items it can still be taken away.
Source: "Sick Boi" by Ren on BandCamp got taken out of my library, should be in the #2 spot

bandcamp (DRM free)

Spotify (not DRM free)

I understand it is a copyright thing (even though the artist did literally nothing wrong) but still! It fits the flowchart in the meme.

That sucks and all, but to be fair this is entirely on you. They sold you a DRM-Free file and you chose to not actually use it and to rely on their servers which you have no control over. This isn't a "DRM Free" issue.

Personal ownership means you take personal responsibility for it.

Every day that passes I think more and more that I should have a local backup copy of my whole GOG games collection.

I have a reminder pop every few months to download the newest games that I bought from GoG. I've found it easier to download one or two, rather than a giant batch.

And where do you store them? Do you have a NAS? Or a big disk for backups?

I have a big storage server and a couple of backup drives for all my media

It fits the exact thing the comic shows. The comic said DRM free is the solution. I am showing that it is not immune to the same issues that DRM content has.
