this is a horrible take. if you buy something, it should stay yours even if you don't look at it for 20 years. If Sony opts for not selling CDs any more (asshole move) they should at least carry to burden of storing a few kB per customer. Forever.

Agree with overall point but doesn't cd's expire as well?

[–] nibbler@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

Everything expires, but deleted is not expired. Some day the sun will burn out of fuel and earth will be history. That still does not mean, that if you buy something it shall be taken from you by choice of the vendor.

And they will keep your account until the company is no longer profitable if you care enough to remember you have one. It costs you 5 minutes every 3 years to maintain your collection. Y'all are blowing this out of proportion with all this wailing and gnashing of teeth.
