A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I hope customer protection will eventually force new terms on the "you buy the rights to view a movie which can be revoked anytime without reason". Like, given that most digital offers are priced nearly as high as their physical counterparts, there should be a law that the right must be given for at least 50 years or so.
I think that that would be hard to make work from a business standpoint. Too hard to reserve enough cash to operate for 50 years; businesses can go under.
Maybe just buy the physical movie.
I mean, a Blu-Ray or whatever is popular these days movie plus a player is self-contained and will keep working as long as you don't damage one or the other.
People still use fifty year old vinyl records.
