And don’t forget shit like Flexplay. The no-return rental DVD that self-destructs after ~48 hours. How ecological. Thankfully it was discontinued in 2011.
Not to be confused with Flexi Disc, which was essentially a CD-sized vinyl record with a sample track, that used to be inserted into magazines. Especially big in russia.
The sound quality left a lot to be desired. He’s a very rare Slowdive track with a banging tempo that was only released on Flexi Disc.
How? It would need an internet connection to revoke it, and you can’t write to the Blu-ray disc can you? In other words, you could just turn off internet connection from the player?
Blu-Ray discs can carry offline updates that blacklist other discs. All players must support these updates as part of licensing the technology. All your blu-rays may play today, but if an update comes along to revoke the license on a title and you play a disc that carries the update that enables that revocation, it won’t play back on your device. It’s occasionally been used to disable known pirated discs, and so far hasn’t been used on licensed materials, but “so far” is never much assurance.
I had to change my email/account with google and couldn’t port the apps in the gplay store. This was mostly due to having a google domains that did many years ago, but still didn’t get any solution when I explained that to the google customer service. It was clear to me that is not worth wasting a penny there.
Not the first time people “bought” digital media only to have it taken away.
Physical media or local downloads is the way to go.
No DRM is the way to go, physical or digital. Some physical DRM can revoke the licence on the disk (like Blu-ray)
