ok but how do they know you haven't bought that content?

Gotta go deeper and scan the bank transactions going through your phone. Why not just watch your screen and build a model of everything you do. It's a slippery slope ... of extrapolation.

    Sight Piracy as the reason, but get better conversion tracking for those sweet Ad clicks. We all know which companies would be drooling at the prospects of this.

    Sadly this isn't hypothetical, Card companies have colluded with the data hoarders in the past for this exact purpose.

  • This kind of reporting is of course standard practice in the banking industry and has been going on for 20+ years.

Well clearly the burden of proof now lies with you. Have fun with our fully automated appeal process. If you get over 10,000 retweets we may reconsider.

The idea is to force you to buy the same content in multiple platforms. Bought content would have DRM; anything stripped of DRM is presumably pirated content.

In the future, everything is streamed. You don't own the content.

  • ...If people will want to pay for that model. Not everybody will - this is absolutely certain. So, there is still some space for physical media being around for the rest.

    • Are you sure? There are already music albums that you can't buy in stores.

      The free market serves only the masses. Everybody else can only hope to buy what they want.
