What commercial physical video media doesn’t have DRM?
- Comment on Anon gives a piracy history lesson 2 days ago:
Except the value proposition still needs to make sense, so resigning to just pay the
creatorlicense holder exorbitant rates for ever-more-enshittified services is learning the wrong lesson.They have used their control over the system to grotesquely distort copyright from its original intent of getting more cultural works into the public domain for people to use and build on, to instead lock everything away for lifetimes. Don’t buy into their lies and propaganda that they have any moral high ground.

- Comment on Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC 2 months ago:
Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.
No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.
All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).
Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.

- Comment on Garry Newman of Facepunch comments on the Nintendo takedown of Garry's Mod content 6 months ago:
I’d like to think there is a universe where Nintendo and other companies recognize the value that these add to their brands and proactively issue free licenses to use the IP as a component of how they maintain and enforce rights.
