    Just a reminder that anything digitally bought you don’t own.

    I wish people would stop saying this. There’s a middle ground for digital media people should be reminded of: DRM-free digital media. In that situation it’s much like a physical DVD/blu-ray or the like, you own a copy of it, you can back it up, share it (though the terms & conditions will often discourage this), and so on.

    This all or nothing talk of digital media only encourages people to give up and give in to restricted digital media via streaming or limited downloads/installs, both of which do better enable them to diminish your ownership.

      Where can I buy DRM free digital media please? Because as far as I know, there’s not many large or easily accessible companies that most people are familiar with that offer that.
