Yeah, and as the article links, this is just not about media, CDs, DVDs and games. It’s also about very physical products that we immediately associate as “owned” - like printers, phones, cars, tractors or even, (lol) trains. They’re all locked to manufacturers parts and repair services and increasingly difficult to circumvent.
They where using words like “purchasing”, and asking just as much for the digital files as for the DVD’s. If they where even available.
So it makes sense people where seeing it as “owning”. And then looking puzzled when Sony decided to break into their own devices and delete files…
I have family that FINALLY see that DRM is a thing in their lives, and they DO NOT like it.
