Nice. The movie industry must be shitting themselves if this goes through. They are next.
I don’t think this changes anything for movies unless there’s somewhere you can “buy” a copy of a movie but they don’t let you download an offline copy. If they “rent” you the movie or you “subscribe” to a streaming service, none of this applies.
I know the option for buying movies exist. You can do it on Apple Store. You can download offline, but only into their own ecosystem.
That would be a case, where you are forced to let them download.
But it’s more realistic, that they just remove that option, than letting people download it out of their shop.
