California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it (www.theverge.com)

If you don't retain some kind of actual ownership, they will not be allowed to use terms like "buy" or "purchase" on the store page button. I hope there aren't huge holes in this that allow bad actors to get around it, but I certainly loathe the fact that there's no real way to buy a movie or TV show digitally. Not really.

EDIT: On re-reading it, there may be huge holes in it. Like if they just "clearly tell you" how little you're getting when you buy it, they can still say "buy" and "purchase".

Holy shit… I would love to watch that. I can’t over state how well done the movie actually was, so I would love to learn more about it.

Just found that today. Too nervous to post. Can we put a bunch of links that we like in the sidebar?

Yeah I have a ton more pictures, I just don’t want to spam and I don’t think lemmy allows multiple pics

I’m not sure if you live in the US, but they’re releasing it for theaters on December 6th. I missed out on it the first time too, so I’m making sure I’m there.

Midsommer is one of those ones I struggle to watch. I get super empathetic and start tweaking out.

I’m not sure if you’re interested, but I believe they’re rereleasing it this weekend for theaters. At least in the US.

Update: they pushed it to December 6th

Thats exactly what I believe. I know there is no limits to stupidity, but don’t you use bots to make it seem legit? Who would go around saying, “hey guys we’re losing. We should use BOTS. We should buy BOTS ACCOUNT AND UPVOTES from BOTSFORSALE.org”
