    Companies back then: Here is a piece of physical media to purchase. It’s yours until you break it or lose it.

    Companies a few years ago: Fuck you. We know you purchased this digital media with your hard earned money but due to licensing bullshit we no longer own the rights to it. If you look at page 3462 of the EULA that you definitely read and explicitly agreed to you’ll see we reserve the right to take it back from you at any time, which we are now doing.

    Companies now: Lol you actually want to purchase stuff you fucking dumbass? Pay us a subscription for all eternity and if you’re lucky you may temporarily have access to what you want

      Yes, but DRM free / pirated files don’t have that problem. Also, this is a gripe specifically about audio, which has been DRM free for a while

    Every piece of analog media you can buy now has been a file in a computer at a certain point, there’s nothing “more real”. If it sounds different from the file it’s because the media is unreliable and because to “fit” in a vinyl record songs have to be remixed, so you are actually listening to a remix.

  Yeah I don’t miss cassette tapes. At all. Fuck those things.

  I had to cut the tape at least once. I was amazed when it could be fixed with a piece of tape.
