Free Software Foundation (fsf@status.fsf.org)'s status on Friday, 19-Jul-2019 14:16:40 UTC Free Software Foundation Pearson is switching to a "Netflix-style subscription-based model."

LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} (lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jun-2019 16:04:29 UTC LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} The other thing about #TUR / #DRM in printer cartridges is that some business-class toner cartridges have expiration dates. There may be nothing else wrong with the cartridge except that your company's purchasing folks bought in bulk and you haven't used them all, and the cartridges will still stop working after a certain date.
* TUR = Technical Usage Restrictions. DRM (Digital Rights Management) is just a euphemism to make TUR seem "right".

They are just trying to watch movies / shows. TUR-encumbered services like Netflix are the MPAA-approved way to do so. In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
