What is ownership in the digital age?The big media companies want to redefine what it means to purchase content. They want everything to be a rental, even if...
They have proven many times over that pirating/accessibility have inverse relationship.
My most frustrating example was when I needed one song for a project my wife was working on a long time ago. I looked to try to purchase it online and could only find it on iTunes. In order to purchase from iTunes you had to download the application and install it. However I had an old machine running Linux… By the time I figured this all out I had spent 2 hours trying to pay $0.99 for one song. I could not find an approved way to do it. So I went the alternative route and had the song in under 5 minutes.
They keep pushing accessibility down recently. I am not playing their games again. When they want to be reasonable they will get paid.
