Welcome to the Digital Prison: Movies and Music Are No Longer Ours!
Imagine a world where you no longer own the movies and music you love. No, this isn’t a dystopian novel, it’s our reality! We used to buy tapes, vinyl, discs and hold them in our hands. Today? Everything is in the cloud, on specialized apps, and we pay only for access – nothing tangible is ours.
Subscriptions That Keep Us Shackled
Netflix, Spotify, Deezer – sounds like paradise for entertainment lovers, but actually, they are digital chains. You pay a monthly fee and get… the ability to watch or listen to something. But it’s not your ownership! What if the platform removes your favorite movie or song? You’re left empty-handed.
Piracy Rises Like a Phoenix
Because of these limitations, piracy in Serbia never died. People return to old habits because it’s easier and cheaper. With a bunch of platforms offering exclusives, subscriptions are expensive and the choice is confusing. How do you keep track of what’s where? It’s impossible to have all subscriptions without going broke.
Monopoly and Market Fragmentation
Netflix once held a monopoly, but now big studios open their own platforms with exclusive content. This means you need dozens of subscriptions to watch everything you want. Sounds like a plan to make you give up or turn to piracy.
Where Did Ownership Go?
In the digital entertainment era, ownership became an illusion. Buying a physical medium meant you owned the work forever. Today, you pay only for access, and only for a limited time. If you stop paying, you lose everything. This is not freedom, it’s a prison.
What’s Next?
Subscription prices rise, offerings fragment, and customer support declines. Piracy is coming back stronger than ever. Companies fight for profit, users lose. Will anyone stop this madness? Hard to say.
Conclusion
The digital revolution freed us from physical media but trapped us in a world where we own nothing. If you’re nostalgic for the days when you could hold a movie or record in your hands, you’re not alone. And if you have a trick to bypass this digital chaos, share it in the comments – maybe we can save someone else from digital slavery!
