I always laugh at these little kids who pay for files rather than actually owning things.

I'll but you buy e-books too instead of having a glorious hardcover first edition library.

>>29127700

Not the greatest color or quality on those "streams" and "rips". Plus the cheesy heading at the top.

>>29127520 (OP)
people not caring is a bigger risk to user freedom than anything.
just look at the backdoors in the kindle where your books can be removed without your consent at any time. it can be changed, just that nobody has taken the slight effort needed to do so.

the same with the backdoor into android. (log into your google account and you can install apks from the store on your PC by pushing. google, or any government can do that any time they want)

Anyone here trying to defend OSX's lack of BluRay is foxgraping hard

Yet drivers are available for many different motherboards and graphics cards that people use to Hackintosh...?
That hardware wasn't "meant" to be available

Your tin foil hat is on too tight, there are things called laws.

"They don't care about the laws", I know this is what you are going to say, but those laws prevent authorities investigating things all the time and they just suck it up. Those laws are what is preventing your government sending someone to throw you in a mental asylum where your paranoid ass belongs.

>>29128205
that's all X86/64 though. not much needs to be done.

this is an entire port. (any support for playing blu-rays right off thedisk on arch?)

Probably

>>29128217
>laws

the TOS allows them to install what they want.
governments already monitor phone calls, it's not that far fetched

>>29128271
there is "probably" OS X blu-ray support then.

I need facts

>>29128274
>the TOS allows them to install what they want.
No it doesn't. TOS does not supercede privacy laws.

>governments already monitor phone calls, it's not that far fetched
Because it is legal, idiot. Don't you see my point?

>>29128286
Not out of the box, but it's simple setup

>>29127630
Putting a lossless RIP on a USB drive would be costly. Movies would cost at least $60. Blu-Ray discs are dirt cheap in comparison.

You're a fucking idiot if you think what you said makes sense.

not illegal if there's a warrant. and you aren't told if there's a warrant out unless it's being used to quiet you.

>privacy laws
show me one law that stops companies putting software on your machine whenever they feel like it. I'll wait.

>>29128353
Why can't you buy a Mac with a BluRay drive? That's another good question

>>29128386
apple don't have a licenced drive from a company yet.

>>29128394
>yet
They never will

>>29127630
A piece of plastic costs a few cents plus licensing. A flash chip costs more than that to begin with, then you have to build the entire package around it.

I'm not even American but I know all about warrantless wiretapping scandals and cases like this in your country, it's against the law.

>>29128290
>TOS does not supercede privacy laws
This is false

>>29128429
It may be against the law, but that doesn't mean anyone will stop them, the politicians here all suck the corperations dicks.

>>29128429
>security design company

they weren't informed prior, that's why it was illegal.
if they had buried it under pages of agreements they would have gotten away with it.

>It may be against the law, but that doesn't mean anyone will stop them, the politicians here all suck the corperations dicks.

It may be against the law but that doesn't mean anyone will stop someone bashing in your skull, do you live your life in fear of someone bashing in your skull completely at random? I bet you don't.

It's a comment on how irrational your massive paranoia is. You're paranoid about something that will not happen to you, ever.

>>29128498
I think you missed the point of that statement, the point was that corperations here in the US have so much money and power that they are allowed to get away with pretty much anything.

>>29128547
You mean corperations fucking us over?
Happens all the damn time here in the US, since they have pretty much bought our politicians and judges.

Your ignorance disturbs me....

Apple are dumping DVDs as well. Because physical media is dead.

Let me repeat that for you idiots.

PHYSICAL MEDIA, IN PARTICULAR SPINNING OPTICAL DISKS ARE DEAD

COMPLETELY DEAD

BECAUSE THEY ARE TOTAL SHIT AND UTTERLY POINTLESS

WE HAVE THE INTERNET FOR THIS SHIT

It is dead. And good riddance.

My friend actually asked the apple store workers about how it's two thousand and twelve, and apple products not having blu-ray support. They told him that His holiness who art in heaven, Steve Jobs, didn't think it was fair to charge for optical media when it's being continuously phased out of existence.

Why doesn't the PS3 have iTunes?

optical media has been removed this good because it was old and bulky and unnecessary with today's modern internet

>>29128353

"The Blu-ray Player software requires an internet connection when you first put in a new disc. This is due to the copy protection scheme built into the discs by the motion picture studios. One a disc gets its keys, you shouldn't need to go online again. If you try another disc, it's the same process."

Sounds like it's not the same as non OSX because the studios can choose to rescind your key if they see fit.

>>29128833
fuck off, and learn some english

>>29128628

>saying it over and over makes it true

Apple just wants you to use iTunes, its pretty simple.
