We do not own things we get off Netflix, or even off Steam and such. Access can be revoked

Yeah, thatâs why it should be allowed to archive. Infinity Train was wiped off the internet out of spite and there was some stink about people losing music they had purchased. As in purchased under the agreement that they would be able to keep access.
Subscription based services can get fucked. I may not dare pirate but Iâm not afraid to go caveman if I have to

You got me interested about Infinite Train so I looked it up. It makes no sense whatsoever why they would do what they did.
Insane.

Worst part is that it was on my list but I never got to watch it. And because I donât feel comfortable taking the risk of other means, I wonât be able to.
Strange how companies are able to completely deny access to culture if they feel they arenât getting every penny they feel theyâre entitled to, or just out of spite. They can still delete stuff you paid for though!
