Companies in the 2000s: You wouldn't download a car! Digital copies are still stealing, even if the original copy remains with us.

Companies in the 2020s: That digital copy, which you have paid for, doesn't really belong to you. We're removing it from your library now.

Companies deleting media you've literally purchased is 1000x more realistically "stealing" than digital piracy, you cannot change my mind

The Eric Andre Show S06E02

July 22, 2026 - People around the USA are taking down Flock AI surveillance cameras. [video]

direct action works!!

physically interfering with the cameras is highly effective but obviously it's not a type of activism that's accessible to everyone — so if like me you think warrentless surveillance is never ever ever a reasonable thing for a government to do, but you're also like me and can't personally climb camera poles to dismantle that shit:

check out the August 16-22 week of action!

big and small cities all over the US (and one so far in Canada!) are holding events like education sessions, marches, and public lobbying meetings with the local governments and police departments that decide whether to spend taxpayer money on warrantless surveillance. maybe my city and yours can join the nearly 100 places that have already rejected or ended contracts for mass privacy violation cameras.

who want me? lol we’re running out of time

Resident Evil HD Remaster Scenery: Small Library

FALLOUT 4 2015・dev. Bethesda Game Studios

P.T is a PlayStation 4 Exclusive horror game about repeatedly walking through the same hallway that became impossible to play after it was delisted from the PS4 store, being digital only and unable to re-install if you had previously purchased it. It was beloved and acclaimed when available and its ultimate fate turned it into a cautionary tale about the unreliability of digital-only gaming and the importance of having a physical thing you can rely upon to enjoy a work of art and entertainment.

On an unrelated note: PlayStation is going full-digital and joining the corporations attempting to kill physical media to price gouge consumers and gain a greater amount of control over their products to the detriment of the customer.
