If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 40 points 9 months ago

Yep courts should be forcing them to use the word "rent"

If commenting isn't owning, then copying it isn't stealing!

[-] ultra@feddit.ro 16 points 9 months ago

And then I definitely didn't steal this from the fediverse!

[-] 7u5k3n@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I saw that exact quote the other day in a piracy thread. First time I'd seen it.. nice to be there when a meme is born.

[-] JoShmoe@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 months ago

I love this quote. Imagine giving money to someone and getting nothing in return. fml

However, just because something isn’t for sale it doesn’t mean you aren’t stealing it.

[-] ultra@feddit.ro 5 points 9 months ago

Got it from the fediverse :p

I wouldn't use a purple drive, those are for security camera feeds.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I wondered why the hdd changed colors from my inbox to seeing it here. Lol

[-] teft@startrek.website 11 points 9 months ago

Because I'm a ninja.

[-] teft@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

I just punched in 12tb drive and that was the first one. I could drop in a 4gb scsi drive instead?

[-] Flying_Hellfish@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

WD Red for data hoarding/NAS. People like Barracuda drives as well but I've had bad luck with Seagate reliability in the past.

Also, purples tend to cost more because they are rated for surveillance.

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago

Aka 24/7 read writes of video files. Purples are fine for achieving just pop an SSD cache in your server

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The purple drives work well for any write-heavy workload that's constantly writing to disk. Surveillance is just the primary use case.

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

WHERE CAN I GET A 24 TB MEMORY DRIVE

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Found it, and it's $630

[-] onion@feddit.de 28 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You can buy drm free games to download and keep forever on gog.com, and music on bandcamp.com and qobuz.com

Btw if you buy a physical copy through bandcamp, you get digital download and streaming included

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 7 points 9 months ago

Yeah, but nothing ever for movies or series.

Even if you "buy" them it's only loaned until the service decides otherwise or dies.

Oh, didn't know about gobuz, thanks!

[-] DroneRights@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

There are plenty of ways to acquire permanent ownership of movies and TV, it's just that it isn't legal ownership.

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 9 months ago

You can buy your own Blu Rays and DVDs, and rip them onto a Plex/Jellyfin server.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

what if you buy like a blu-ray

[-] AgnosticMammal@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

Itch.io too?

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Let's be honest, who reads the terms and conditions when they buy something? And no lying.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

I read it on important/big purchases, but definitely not on video games.

If they revoke my license, then I'll just pirate it.

[-] VegaLyrae@kbin.social 12 points 9 months ago

If they revoke your license you should get a full refund tbh.

If it's worth $n to access something, then the damages for revoking it should also be $n.

[-] VegaLyrae@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks for my $3 for taking away my ability to run linux on PS3 :(

[-] QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago

There was even a court case where they acknowledged that nobody reads those IIRC.

[-] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

Well you should own it.

[-] CJOtheReal@ani.social 8 points 9 months ago

Doesn't sound like its legal by EU laws...

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago

I buy media to support the creators because the ad driven economy is killing the internet.

Yes, a large chunk of that doesn’t make it to the creators.

It’s still better than ad revenue by a large margin.

[-] BraveSentry@feddit.de 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

could? bothered to

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Just buy a disk (still DRM but way less bad)
