You have it for 30 more months. That's two and a half years to gain the relatively easy skills to join the Jolly Roger, yarr

This comment is brought to you by my favorite streaming service, (name a VPN)!

This article really needed a “…for now” in the headline.

This doesn't change the fact that Sony or any other media company can yank your access away at any moment.

Any digital movie you "purchase" isn't buying it unless you can make a functional offline backup copy.

It’s a good lesson for me to never buy movies on anything else than blurays or dvds. The only problem is their degradation with time.

I’d still feel safe buying digital games from Sony, although I prefer physical versions 😇

Just sail the high seas my friend. I download almost everything as blueray rip or better know as “remux”.

[–] echo64 6 points 11 months ago

You can also just buy and rip, I know it's not popular to say this on the internet. But I like giving money to people who make things that I enjoy. I'd rather the money go to them than Starbucks or whatever

[–] echo64 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fwiw, bluray degradation with time isn't an actual known issue. Old cds have issues that leave then very vulnerable to scratches, and the reflective backing oxidizes leading to disk rot, but both things were effectively solved by the time bluray came around.

Maybe if you're concerned about the 200yr lifespan, store them in an argon environment, but you're probably not

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well surprisingly I’ve got 4-5 dvd’s which are skipping chapters without any scratches on the back and now also 1 blu-ray doing that.

That’s why I feel like it’s important to know that your movies shouldn’t be expected to last for a lifetime if you don’t back them up.

[–] echo64 2 points 11 months ago

Dvds were still 90s technology. They can have issues for sure. But they always did do it. It's not a developing problem. Often, just bad manufacturing

But your bluray issue is more than likely an aging laser more than an issue with the disk.

You're correct to say it's better to backup, but honestly, blurays should be expected to last a lifetime if you aren't keeping them in extreme conditions or going at them with power tools.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

They can also be destroyed in a fire or flooding. People can steal them. Ownership and permanece are illusions.

Damage is done. All they did was made it more apparent that customers don't own what they bought.
