Warner Bros. Discovery is on the eve of launching Max, its new streaming service that combines the already-existing platforms of HBO Max and Discovery+. But don’t expect Aubrey Plaza to be am…

iTunes isn’t much different from any of the “streamers”. They still license media to you while reserving the right to withdraw it from you at any time, and stream it to you on-demand. The only thing that’s different is the pricing model.
iTunes is literally the same as streaming though.
You rent access to the content for as long as the platform wants.
DVD/Bluray are the solution to this… except not everything is released like that…
In the end, piracy wins… again… like it always has…

Yeah I’ve had movies I “bought” on Apple disappear and they just offer a free rental when you finally notice and complain. They expect you to download everything you buy when you buy it and sync it between devices if you want to keep it.

Ain’t that the truth. And honestly I don’t want to pirate media. I’d rather pay so I could support content creators, but I don’t want to support this “you don’t own anything, you’re only licensing it out temporarily from corporations and they can fuck you over any time they feel like it” bullshit either.
I really wish there was a way to just buy a digital file of a movie I want so I can have it on my plex
Wow this is some great and exciting technology on display!
I buy my films and TV shows from… wait no I don’t
Raw files and/or physical copies > anything else
