Comment Re:Smart Move on Their Part (Score 1) 213

Either way, China loses. But by denying millions of Americans their addiction to the platform, they're going to create a lot more misery for the politicians that put this into motion. In my life, I can't remember the U.S. government banning something more popular than TikTok. I can't wait to watch videos of the fallout on YouTube.

Might yield interesting results in getting higher numbers of young people voting in future elections. That's a win for democracy, I'd say.

Comment You never really own the content anyway (Score 1) 140

When you buy a physical disk, you don't own that content either, so I can't say I'm not surprised by this. If you did own the content, and if your disk was later damaged, you'd be able to get another copy of it for free or for a minimal price for materials. Or if you were to upgrade equipment--say DVD to BlueRay-- and if you owned the content, you would get the next encoding of that data for free. None of that happens today, so the delivery media doesn't really seem to matter to me. The movie studios license the content to Amazon, who it turn licenses it to you at a higher cost.
