BRUCE Willis is preparing to take Apple to court over who owns his huge digital music collection after he dies. UPDATE
The Die Hard actor, 57, wants to leave the haul to his daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.
But under iTunes' current terms and conditions, customers essentially only 'borrow' tracks rather than owning them outright.
So any music library amassed like that would be worthless when the owner dies.

I am not quite sure but it seems to me like your english is becoming a tiny little bit worse with every post you make. Problem is, you are making too many posts in too little time.

The thing is, he actually bought a TON of songs on iTunes. When you purchase a song or an album it actually says "Buy Song" or "Buy Album", but they've been sneaky and in their terms of use, or what ever (Holy geek! I HATE all the LEGAL BULLSKIT!), it's hidden that you "borrow" songs and albums. You don't own them, even tho it's says "Buy Song".

Also quite a few people turned the wrong way and said Bruce was being a birch about the case (because he has so much money) and some said he's actually just trying to make a point.

also..

...even though Apple now provides you with DRM-free files, all you own is a license to play your music on up to five devices under your control and you can’t legally pass them on to others....

If Bruce Willis is involved... say goodbye to Apple guys...

Edit: And people wonder why people all over the world download
stuff (music in this context) illegally... because paying for something you don't
own makes so much more sense -_-

Honestly music is the last thing I'd be thinking of passing on in my will... it would probably be forgotten amidst the things like houses, cars, money, debt, life insurance, slaves, my lighter collection, and my land on one of the moons around Jupiter.

Not sure if serious, or half serious.

Well this is exactly why Bruce is doing this, he obviously has enough cash to leave behind to his daughters that they would be able to buy their own music, its the practice of fighting the Apple overlords

Well who wants to sue Apple in his stead? If we get enough of us we can't lose.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
