This is what you get for buying digitally locked media in iTunes, Google play or Amazon.

Don't buy shit you're never going to own. I've had a roku dominated house for years. If I want to control content, you have two choices:

1.buy thw dvd/bluray

2. Pirate it

Don't buy stupid stuff that's tied to a platform or storage locker. Easy

One added point: while I don’t personally have any moral problem with piracy, if you DO, then buy a digital copy wherever and then pirate a DRM-free version. People like the author are willfully locking themselves down.

This is basically my MO, I don't always have internet service and frankly with storage being as cheap as it is there's really no excuse for me not to have a seamless experience where I can just go watch/listen/play anything I want to whenever I want.

I like supporting content creators but DRM (and ads) have no place in my life.
