    Agreed to disagree then. IMO, if a company thinks it’s OK to throw me over the dick hiding behind being afraid of shadows, deny me access to legally obtained content on my devices, walk back on previous deals, and so on, then I have no problem with getting unrestricted access to stuff they decided I don’t technically own. Fuck the fucker, simple as that.

      By subscribing you agree to a contract. The company is doing no shitty practice since everything is black and white in the contract. You just don’t like the contract. But the consequence should be to not sign it.

          The contract states you don’t own it and they can take it away any time. So why are you stupid to sign it? Buy a physical book if you don’t like it. But there is no justification for piracy like “I don’t get exactly what I want so I now decide that I have the moral right to do whatever I want with indefinitely.”

        Even buying physical media, they claim you still don’t own the content, are only leasing it. It’s all bullshit to charge more and give us less. Stop defending this practice of eroding consumer rights

          Nobody is eroding consumer rights. The consumer rights haven’t changed. Maybe it’s time to change that. Change legislation and stop pirating like monkeys.

            Accessing content I paid for isn’t pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven’t

              You payed for accessing the content the way it’s described in the ToS. I expect you haven’t read the ToS. It’s a contract. Violating that contract is piracy. There is no argueing about that. If you think piracy is morally okey then that’s your thing and your opinion that I respect. But it’s definitely piracy.

                Nah. They changed the game. It didn’t used to be like that. You bought a physical copy, you owned that copy. Now they’ve added some bullshit “it’s actually a lease and we can review access at any time we want, fuck consumer” language. Stop defending this nonsense.

                All that anti repair garbage going in, also. And game console Companies suing you for modifying your own machine.

            You are the one who elevates random terms of service above the law just because both parties “agreed” to them, not me.
