I was shocked about the amount of content when I browsed BBC’s Iplayer service. They even have films. If you want to save some well known movies and are in the UK, you could exhaust their selection before even having to put your hand in your pocket to splash out on extra privatised content.

I think the trade is, you take on the purchase of the house, and the landlord takes on all the downside risk.

While you’re correct that laws are created by the legislature the judiciary is where they are judged to be just. At least in systems based on English common law. Look up jury nullification for more info. Also, prosecutorial discretion is a thing. Basically if any law isn’t enforced either through jury nullification and/or prosecutorial discretion then it is vestigial and should be amended or repealed.

In the interest of balance. I’m rocking a Pixel 7 Pro with GraphineOS and, it’s been fine, so far. It does get light use, though.
