    By subscribing you agree to a contract. The company is doing no shitty practice since everything is black and white in the contract. You just don’t like the contract. But the consequence should be to not sign it.

      Even buying physical media, they claim you still don’t own the content, are only leasing it. It’s all bullshit to charge more and give us less. Stop defending this practice of eroding consumer rights

        Nobody is eroding consumer rights. The consumer rights haven’t changed. Maybe it’s time to change that. Change legislation and stop pirating like monkeys.

          Accessing content I paid for isn’t pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven’t

            You payed for accessing the content the way it’s described in the ToS. I expect you haven’t read the ToS. It’s a contract. Violating that contract is piracy. There is no argueing about that. If you think piracy is morally okey then that’s your thing and your opinion that I respect. But it’s definitely piracy.

          You are the one who elevates random terms of service above the law just because both parties “agreed” to them, not me.

        The contract states you don’t own it and they can take it away any time. So why are you stupid to sign it? Buy a physical book if you don’t like it. But there is no justification for piracy like “I don’t get exactly what I want so I now decide that I have the moral right to do whatever I want with indefinitely.”
