Cool and all, but that also has nothing to do with this. If these services are renting/selling CDs, they've already been digitalized.
It, quite literally, has everything to do with this.
But keep pretending it doesn't and like you know better without actually presenting any argument of your own.
I'm sure that will work out for you. /s
You just replied to an argument of my own, nor did you say why it's wrong. It literally has nothing to do with it, and it still doesn't. If they sell it, it's already digitalized. That's all you need to realize that what you're saying completely falls flat. Reread that simple comment again, and apparently this one as well.
They're digitized to very specific formats that are proprietary, and once the devices that play them cease to exist, so does the data contained on them.
Digitizing them into a file format (which if you actually read the initial comment, would have noticed that I specified this) that is open, available, and easily transferable between a multitude of digital devices is a different issue.
EDIT: I went back and bolded it for you, since you seem to struggle with reading comprehension.
elaborate on how these sites sell CDs that are apparently impossible to digitalize as standard video formats, because that doesn't sound true at all
edit: yeah that's what I thought, maybe he realized on the third reply he completely misread the entire chain. Blocks me then continues to reply and edit all his comments lol. Very sane and definitely not emotional.
Because I didn't say that. Once again, your lack of reading comprehension rears its ugly head.
EDIT: it's interesting that they think I blocked them. Is that what they wanted?
I'm gonna go with projection here. It's not like they can't see when I made my edits.
