You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

Own the temporary license.

Don't NFTs have more protections? If I sell you an NFT, I can't unilaterally revoke it.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ok you're right. This is worse than NFTs.

[–] limitedduck@awful.systems 2 points 1 year ago

Worse than an NFT because you'll always have access to NFTs as long as you have access to your wallet, whether it's worth anything or not.

"...for NOW"

Out already? Can't be long before Radarr delivers it then.

Oh, and Ferrari.

Does Radarr have to be running at the exact moment a site adds it? I notice it auto downloads some things but not others.

The own* the people who decide what they can get away with.

*as in actually own, not their single-instance redefinition of "own" where it means 'definitely do not own'

You can save up to 77% if you buy now.

you can never save by buying something. I save if I don't buy.

Wait, you mean I don't actually own Jason Momoa now? What about my kingdom, do I still own that? (It's hard to tell, since it's lost.)

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

You merely own a license that allows you to access Jason Momoa.

They didn't cut Amber out, I won't be watching it at any price including free.
