Digital media means that there is an ongoing service behind it.

I could download my file and be done with it. If I throw away or damage my super fragile bluray I'm not entitled to a new copy. I don't even need to be able to redownload (although it's a nice service). It means there is an ongoing service behind it because they decide it and because they are afraid I will share with my friends - which is about as difficult as finding the media elsewhere online.

With no more cash coming in, the service goes bankrupt.

Same issue with physical media. Suddenly your expensive factory is idle, your employees don't produce anything. We still get to buy movies and not rent them perpetually.

Why I don't get is why they fight so hard to promote piracy though. It's not enough that it's free, it also has to be easier?

I too came to the comments to look that up. It means poor, apparently.

An Enermax keyboard has been my daily driver as a programmer for my career that started in 2007. It still works just fine and I still have no reason to change to something else. Lots of reasons not to, since I like the classic keyboard layout and the flat laptop keys.

Oh, so it's not that she is a fan who happens to be large.

It's also not that she is very fanatic about countries.

It's that she's moderately fond of large nations!

Why were the doors locked though? These people came expecting a horribly bland experience, but got LOTR instead! WIN!

An AI tool was used to add an extra layer to the editing process for this story.

For crying out loud, stop that!

Could you give this drink to the person of unknown gender over there? Y'all seems to have finished y'all's previous drink and we want to keep everyone happy!

I like how they did this in Farscape. Multiple times.
