MODERATORS
The correct choice is moving to ban this digital licensing bullshit, if you buy a copy of a movie or a game or whatever you fucking own it forever, you can move it onto offline storage, etc. Mandating the continued production of blu rays or whatever is just a jobs program for the people making the discs that doesn't address the core issue which is ownership rights over digital content
Yes, but it's also literally just cheaper to buy physical copies on launch. To remove access to the limited benefits offered by discs would still be a clear detriment to consumers
you know that prices of digital goods are the fakest thing since property rights came to fake town, right, and those were even more fake than when Fake arrived
why bring up such an easily solvable problem when we're already talking about changing laws on digital rights ownership to begin with like at that point price controls aren't an option
Just that - it's easy to modify purchasing habits and get a better deal today, so preserving access to that option is where the action is today. Unfortunately I don't think we really are talking about amending or repealing DMCA than we were in 1998 besides grumbling about it online. The most likely path toward tabling that discussion being the new golden age of piracy that is upon us, but that is not practical means for everyone
