    if buying isn't owning then pirating isn't stealing.

    Have to say it: an outraged Myne is the perfect thumbnail image for this headline. 👌🏻

    Isn't Sony one of the biggest manufactures of bluray disks in the entire world? Why the fuck are they scaling down their physical media production instead of trying to expand the monopoly, especially since Japan hasn't gotten over their physical media consumption? This seems like a really bad case of "line must go up".

    Sony stopped manufacturing bluray disks about 2 years ago. Apparently it was no longer profitable, or so they say

    Interesting, I had no idea, thanks for that. I know Blu-Rays cost around $1-2/disc to produce in bulk, and half of that money is for the DRM, which I think Sony gets back a portion of anyway because they helped develop it or something (I'm a bit murky on the logistics here). It just seems weird to be killing a portion of their business they pioneered and effectively control.

    I'm gonna be mad if Frieren doesn't keep getting Blu-ray releases. Just yesterday I was checking to see if season 2 was released yet in English.

    Sony be like: “I hate the wind, I hate wisdom. I am going to become the opposite of Mestionora.”

    Considering Sony's/CR's near monopoly on both streaming and physical anime, this leaves me very somber for the future. I hope parties like MVM and AllTheAnime can license some of the titles to release physically...

    least liked popular streaming service.

    Oh, HiDive is far worse. Crunchyroll may a master of the footgun, but at least its website works the majority of the time.

    I guess you did say "popular" though.
