Even then, your rights are limited. You can't show it publicly, or make a copy except for personal backup, for instance.
Unskippable bullshit before you can even get the DVD to play cured me of my DVD buying habit.
Yeah I bought a cd once and it had fucking commercials for a bunch of shit.
Not if you just buy a digital streaming version. Then they can take it back anytime they want.
I used to think this was unlikely to happen, and didn't like how fragmented streaming services were... And I don't watch enough TVs/movies to justify one or more subscription services.
So I'd just buy everything on YouTube. Figured I'd only buy it once so I paid extra for the 1080p. Then they decided to stop supporting anything over 480p on browsers that aren't Safari. Watching 480p movies is a joke.
Apparently you're only allowed 720p/1080p on phones/tablets (lol at watching a movie that small), smart TVs (why would I own a TV with this little TV consumption) or Safari (lol Macs).
I don't even know what to do at this point. Go back to collecting DVDs? Think I'm just done watching movies.
Or you could just sail the digital seas 🤷
I sail the seas, but I purchase 4K discs for any repeat watchers.
Well then that is not buying the DVD is it?
