> [en] 20 years ago, Chris Anderson told me that it was unrealistic to expect tech companies to refuse demands for DRM from the entertainment companies whose media they hoped to play. My argument – then and now – was that any tech company that sells you a gadget that can have its features revoked is defrauding you. You’re paying for x, y and z – and if they are contractually required to remove x and y on demand, ==they are selling you something that you can’t rely on==, without making that clear to you.

[Rappel](/david/2020/02/07/#mood) [quasi](/david/2021/12/05/)-[annuel](/david/2023/02/01/) : de Netflix à Spotify, la volatilité des catalogues est telle qu’on ne peux compter sur aucune *playlist* qui tiendrait dans la durée. Considérant le prix des disques durs externes SSD, il est devenu plus que rentable et pérenne d’entretenir ses propres bibliothèques !

Ne pensez pas priver plus que ça les artistes de revenus avec ces pratiques, au mieux il leur manquera [un sandwich… par an](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/weird-al-yankovic-spotify-wrapped-video-criticism-1234905887/) ([cache](/david/cache/2023/1ac69ff7b6913bfc4298d9ec0365ca5b/)).

PS : j’ai écouté 🇨🇦 [Pax Massilia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Massilia) et ça m’a fait l’effet d’un *space cake* de Proust.

> [en] 🙃 when people say “enshittification”, it’s as if their core complaint about capitalism is the customer service, rather than the systematic exploitation of other people. people don’t talk about union busting as “enshittification”, or wage theft as “enshittification”, let alone deeper systematic issues.
