    That sucks and all, but to be fair this is entirely on you. They sold you a DRM-Free file and you chose to not actually use it and to rely on their servers which you have no control over. This isn’t a “DRM Free” issue.

    Personal ownership means you take personal responsibility for it.

      It fits the exact thing the comic shows. The comic said DRM free is the solution. I am showing that it is not immune to the same issues that DRM content has.

      you chose to not actually use it

      my hard drive broke. I had it downloaded and went to go redownload it
      Also they advertise the app as streaming.

      This isn’t a “DRM Free” issue.

      that’s what I was pointing out, that BandCamp has the same issues.

      Overall I agree though, it is kinda on me to not have my download backed up.

        okay, so… back it up on 2 separate things then.

        artists can choose to unpublish a song. that’s their prerogative.

      Every day that passes I think more and more that I should have a local backup copy of my whole GOG games collection.
