Copy protection

Physical Reliability vs. Digital Storage
;4. Censorship and Availability:
:'''Digital Storage''': "Digital content can be censored or removed from online platforms by the provider or due to copyright issues. This can lead to the loss of access to previously purchased digital media. Digital content on platforms like Android can be especially vulnerable to access loss. Even after purchase, providers may remove content from digital stores due to censorship, copyright issues, or simply decide to delist the software entirely. This is compounded by the challenge of preserving older mobile software. Many older applications, with their associated APK and data files, become unusable over time due to a lack of proper preservation efforts. Even those successfully preserved applications can still face hurdles due to restrictive copy protection methods like defunct activation check servers."
:'''Physical Storage''': "Physical media offers more control over access and censorship. Once you own a physical copy, it cannot be easily removed or altered by a third party."
