You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

I am on the belief that once I buy something, let's say Spiderman No Way Home, on streaming services, I am entitled to download it offline from anywhere for my own Jellyfin.

No one, or even biggest corp, can change my view.

Downloading stuff like this for personal use is in fact perfectly legal in many countries

If only they allowed you to do it easily...

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago

Well it is easy.

It's just they don't allow it.

One out of two ain't bad.

Even if you don't pay for it?

In Switzerland it technically is legal. Only hosting for others is illegal.

Depends on the country

They said buy, which means paying.

In some countries making a private copy isn't legal if copy protections are in place. Even if those copy protections are useless.
