  • DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again

  • Yeah I’m not paying for something and it still be illegal. I’d rather stick to piracy. I get your point and if it works for you that’s cool. But it’s not for me.

    A good usenet setup with the Arr stack can automatically download basically anything you want and costs tens of dollars per year to run with very little, if any risk. (have there been any prosecutions for people downloading from usenet?)

    With a little bit of work and an old computer for a server you can basically run your own automated piracy streaming service.

  • Disagree. In order to keep those keys secure they can’t publish them, so they’ll have to license some sort of decryption chip. That just pushes the price up as some manufacturer ends up taking a cut from every player sale.

    Also means you can’t do what you want with it. You probably can’t play it on an open source device. Etc etc.

  • I won't. "Copy protection" is much more about restricting and potentially even removing your access to something you've paid for than it is about preventing copying. I am not willing to buy something that can be revoked when alternatives are available.

  • I know, I modified it to make more sense for video.

  • I know. I changed the terms. Pray I don’t change them further.

  • Someone go make Steam for videos and I'll pay for media again. My stipulations are:

    • Once I buy it, it's mine forever (otherwise piracy is better)
    • The file is high quality, DRM free, and in a selection of standard formats (otherwise piracy is better)
    • I can redownload it from the service at any time (otherwise piracy is better)
    • I can get everything I want to watch (otherwise piracy is better)

  • Yeah that’s totally galling. Shrinkflation for online services.

    You know some shiny-suited corporate asshole got a huge bonus for coming up with that though.

  • Piracy > resellers

    Jump

  • I do not understand why publishers don’t cancel the keys. Why do they allow that parasitic industry to exist? Surely they know which key corresponds to a chargeback?

  • How can I keep dropdown menus open while inspecting them in dev tools?

    Jump

  • You can access the option elements inside the select via the dom and style them there. In most browsers on a Mac (which that looks like?) those selects are actually implemented as separate windows - not even part of the browser, so you’re going to struggle to access them directly.

  • The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

    Jump

  • I use Firefox over Brave simply because I have much more trust that Mozilla won’t suddenly turn into dicks.

    (Also because Firefox is awesome now, and because competition in the browser world is a good thing, but it’s mainly the probably-not-being-dicks thing)
