>Wrong.
You do know you’re just purchasing a license, right? A license that can be revoked at the behest of the service/point of sale.

You just used sales figures to prove your point - as if multiple technologies (physical and digital) can’t coexist.
And what happens if say, Apple pulls their licensing agreement? You lose everything you’ve “purchased,” because you don’t actually own the product you purchased. With physical media, you at least own and can access it in perpetuity.

Sales don’t equate the obsolescence of physical media. Don’t try and move the goalposts.

It’s why I absolutely refuse to entertain the cynical notion that physical media will ever die out.

That’s the one thing that I miss about drinking, it’s the beer. The taste etc. year into my sobriety, and man, sometimes it gets difficult.

The OP is from Little Italy Pizza in NY, the post you linked is from Rosa’s in Brooklyn. They’re about 6 miles away from each other and are divided by the East River - close enough.

If I remember correctly, some lawsuits are already targeting vehicle based subscription services. Can only see them cropping up more and more as the business model gains more ground.

If people can get shitty about women having the choice to bodily autonomy over a clump of cells, you can be there will be a group of people who will claim that your idea is still wrong.
Might as well just invest in lab grown meat, and do away with large multi hectare farms all together. You can appease your conscious and the world will be less tonnes of CO2.
