    We’re at the stage where owning media is a news-worthy concept. (and no, iTunes is not owning your media either, it’s licensed, but how crazy would the headlines be if she bought physical media)

      The thing is…a lot of media will never hit physical copies.

      Has anything from Apple TV+ been released on DVD?

        Apparently, according to the article at least, she and her husband wanted to watch The Sopranos Top Chef season 20, they couldn’t figure out how to get Hulu+Live to work, so they ended up buying the Sopranos on iTunes.

        But I’m pretty sure The Sopranos had a physical release.

          For a brief time I used Netflix, I was not impressed with the fluctuations of encoding/streaming quality.(yep, I know it’s early days.) Fast forward to this year, I visited my friend’s place to have a get together, one pick something to watch and yet with gigabit fibre internet it still looks shit and pixelated until it “catches up”.

          I’d buy downloads instead cause I can zoom around the show without worrying the quality.

        She’s going to be appearing in a Disney+ show for Marvel. None of those have ever been released for purchase either (and probably never will be).

        Which in some jurisdictions is also illegal. So I might as well skip the “payment” part then.

        Are there good DRM removal tools for iTunes? Googling for it gives the expected result, ie. pages and pages of scammy bullshit that I really don’t have the energy to sort through

          A good DRM removal tool would be to purchase the media wherever you like to feel morally good. After that you torrent the media so you can actually own a copy.
