Inside Nvidia's 10-year effort to make the Shield TV the most updated Android device ever

@arstechnica Reading this article and the general theme that came across was media rights companies are fucking dreadful.
#Netflix: want our app to run on your device? Not unless you have a massive Netflix button on the remote. Want to continue to play 4K content after the device passes the 3-year-old mark? Tough luck.
Get fucking lost. The #DRM war has been lost, and I’ll continue to pirate your shit, if for nothing but spite.
DRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations? Live DRM-free instead: https://u.fsf.org/1aj #EndDRM #DRM

"But think about the artists!" is a favorite refrain of so-called "intellectual property" enthusiasts (aka corporations.) Hear from one #DefectiveByDesign (DBD) guest writer and musician about how #DRM totally cramped his style: https://u.fsf.org/1rx #EndDRM #Music

Amazon will let you drop DRM on their e-books, and just download epubs!? According to @alternativeto. I trust them, but I just can't wrap my head around this. How, why, what!?
Have you said anything about this yet, @pluralistic?
#DRM isn't just an annoyance -- it's a violation of your right to use the items you own as you see fit. Learn more about our Defective by Design campaign at http://defectivebydesign.org, and follow our campaign account at @endDRM
If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing!
