There are no "local laws" in Sweden that differ between parts of the country, only laws that apply to the entire country.

Hey now...we all of course only have copies of our own blurays and DVDs on our home media servers.

There is a difference there in that these are digital copies (easy to make more copies) vs physical books (hard to make more copies).

Libraries rent out ebooks too, also easily stripped of DRM and copied if someone wants to so that. But that is seemingly not an issue.

As I'm reading this, stingrays are pretty ineffective if users are using E2EE messaging (or just a VPN), and can then pretty much only be used for location estimation.

Just in time for the rapid enshitification of streaming services...and the cycle repeats. Greedy people always ruin all the good things we have.

I usually just borrow e-books from the library, download as epub and strip the DRM from the file so I can read it, and return the eBook to the library right away for the next person to borrow it.
