yeah essentially its like. for now. implying they will be gone which is like part of the things I worry about for the future.
It's one of the reasons I decided a while ago to move back from digital to analog (I started using ebooks in the early 00s and have been mostly reading ebooks up 2 or 3 years ago, approx.) for as many things as I was able to, not just reading books.
Physical ownership and 'not-Internet' & 'not-high-tech' dependent medium should be a lot more resilient to any excess of control, surveillance and censorship than anything digital. Plus, baring accidents, all of those analog things will outlive me and my spouse (we're both well into our 50s) and, unlike with digital 'objects', it's very easy for us to make sure those analog objects will end up in the hands of a new owner that will know how to best use them... without anyone having much to say about it.
