That's why I said without DRM. Some games on steam don't have DRM, as far as I understand. Otherwise GoG.

Agreed, isn't that what I just said? πŸ˜…

That's not what buying means or at least not the "buying" I am talking about. I mean I give some amount of money and I receive a download of the purchased material, free of DRM. There is no subscription involved. Like Steam (with no DRM) or GoG, but for movies and shows instead of games.

Okay I gotta disagree partially on the third panel. I'd much rather have the option of purchasing individual movies or shows than having a subscription. Like, imagine we had Steam but instead of games, it was shows and movies? That'd be great. Imagine the sales! PatientWatchers amirite?

Unfortunately it's rarely possible to actually purchase, and definitely not without any DRM. So the third panel should really say "This show is not available for purchase" or only mention renting or specify that it's with loads of DRM or whatever.

purely legal conformation standpoint

It's still stupid even if it's required by law.
