Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Pretty much, the main reason i went back to pirating media rather than using any of the streaming services. For a brief period streaming services we're starting to seem like a good alternative.
Pirated 1080p movie is better quality than any of the streaming services "1080p" variant, due to lower bitrate. Even if downloaded ahead of time which should be the best quality possible and not dependant on internet connection. Completely unexcusable.
Not to even start with fucking region locking.
People praising audible as the best place to get audiobooks. So i gave it a shot. Literally the first book i bought was region locked. To add salt, i could buy it without any warning, but not listen. Fuck this. Removed the DRM, uploaded it out of spite and went back to sailing the high seas.
so i bought this album on bullshit music, right? download it on bullshit music's service. try to listen to it on their service. it stutters every fucking time. i delete it, redownload it, still stutters. bullshit.
