"The CEO of Spotify thinks music is made for free and is his to sell, promoted as ‘content’. Please always try to buy records (‘vinyl’), cds, T-Shirts and go to gigs where you can afford to support bands you love."
ONCE AGAIN: companies DO NOT GIVE ONE FUCK & will treat the Things you love w/ disdain & zero respect. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS PROFIT and that means most will eventually fail, because their goals are not sustainable.
They don't want you to realize the lie of "buying" something digitally, which is: you don't REALLY own SHIT.
⭐ BUY PHYSICAL MEDIA IF U R ABLE, or be at the mercy of their capricious, greedy whims ⭐
Strongly tempted to order Criterion's Straw Dogs #bluray almost solely for the special features, which look to be many and interesting. It's not a film I enjoy much, unfortunately, though I count myself a Peckinpah admirer. I'd be buying it out a sort of scholarly interest. https://www.criterion.com/films/730-straw-dogs
Just finished the 3rd Blu-ray of Outlander S4 and it's just so full of secrets, rapes and stupidity that I'm not going to look for or purchase S5. Also it's licentious. And the characters are irresponsible. Nyah. #tv#physicalmedia
Now I'm going to #watch Sarah's Key (2010), directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, starring Kristin Scott-Thomas. It, like Outlander is a story told in two times. But there's no time travel, just a story being researched about some Nazi event in 1942 Paris. #film
Tired of Streaming? Free Blockbuster Libraries Offer an Alternative. 📀 🍿 🎬
The neighborhood lending libraries have popped up around North America, offering a nostalgic return to DVDs.
Shortly after Free Blockbuster was launched, a lawyer for DISH Network, which now owns the Blockbuster brand, sent Mr. Morrison a letter asking he stop using the company’s logo and name.
I like when I turn on my TV and it reminds me that it is 4K capable and I'm just like "Oh, that is nice, I'm going to watch a 20 year old documentary series on used DVD"
In today's "be sure to own actual digital or physical copies of your stuff" news, Sony claims it's offering subs "appropriate value" for deleting their digital libraries.
NEVER rely on companies to keep stuff. They do NOT care, and your stuff will be gone.
You gotta do it yourself.
Grab it and put it on your computer or a thumb drive.
