If buying isn't owning... what exactly did you pay for?

Sony is removing 551 movies from PlayStation libraries on September 1, including Terminator 2, Rambo, Apocalypse Now and hundreds more.

No refunds.
No store credit.
No offline copy.

This isn't just about Sony.

It's about the future of digital ownership, DRM, licensing, and why your "purchases" can disappear overnight.

I dug into:
🎬 Why this is legally possible
🔐 The DRM systems behind digital media
⚖️ How the DMCA protects platforms, not consumers
💿 Why physical media still matters
📺 What this means for every digital storefront

I no longer recommend #MullvadVPN. Their co-founder recently donated millions of SEK to a far-right Swedish party campaigning on mass deportation of immigrants. If you give money to an organization that promotes bigotry, you are part of the problem, regardless of whether it is a "personal" donation funded by your company's profits.

Screenshot of the Ventoy project page showing the Ventoy logo and a brief description. It explains that Ventoy is an open-source tool for creating bootable USB drives for ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD(x), and EFI files without repeatedly formatting the USB. Users can simply copy multiple image files to the drive and choose which one to boot from a menu. The page also displays project badges including version 1.1.16, GPL-3.0 license, 78k GitHub stars, 16 million downloads, and a passing build status.

Réseau en expansion rapide, données agrégées entre juridictions. La surface de surveillance grandit souvent plus vite que le débat sur ses usages. #OSINT #surveillance #privacy
