I had a large DVD and book collection. House fire destroyed everything.
Ownership is an illusion. Let go of your desire and accept that all things come and go.
I'm sorry to hear about the fire, but I think you missed the point.
The reason for a loss matters and the emotions around the reason also change. Just having blank acceptance is dangerous and people/corporatations would love to take advantage of you if you just accept bullshit.
Large public libraries are the correct alternative. My local library has all the books, movies, and tv shows i want.
So your answer to "not owning" anything is to borrow the "thing" from someone/something else that owns it?
With your library example literally not being possible under the dystopic future OP projects.
I'm just saying that owning media outright isn't a permanent solution like it is being portrayed as. The beat solution is for things like movies, tv shows, and books to be a public good that can be shared among our communities, and thats what we should be advocates for.
You'd be fine if a business takes your car without paying you?
"Sorry but you bought your car from Jim's used cars and we bought Jim's business last week. So your contract of sale with Jim is null. We took your car."
The better question is what could you do about it, if they decided they could and the law didn't care enough to say otherwise?
Nothing, you could do nothing. It's not about being fine with it, it's just the reality of the situation.
If they decided they wanted to come in and fuck my wife and piss on my bed and the law didn't care enough to say otherwise?
Nothing, you could do nothing. It's not about being fine with it, it's just the reality of the situation.
Totally sane place to end up to from my comment about how physical media is not the permanent solution people think it is.
Did r/im14andthisisdeep make the leap from reddit to lemmy?
Man who spent all his time on reddit sees a lot of similarities between reddit and this other thing.
I'll be happy to adopt that mindset after the copyright holders do. 😂
