I recently got into Broadcast the Net through a friend of a friend and it is infinitely better than any streaming service in combination with the *arr suite and Plex. I had almost forgotten how much better piracy is until Netflix pulled their no account sharing bullshit. Now they get $0/month from me and that money goes to BTN.

I be fearing the media executives may decide my DVD purchases be cutting into their plans to sell me streaming services. If they keel haul DVD sales, I’ve no mind what I could be doing about it. Arrr. It be a mystery as deep as the high seas.

No need for physical media when it comes to file sharing. But if you really hate the environment so much, I guess yeah… sure, physical media accomplishes something.
I haven’t deleted any downloaded content in about 17 years now.

We don’t need physical media, we need DRM removed and the ability to buy tv/music/movies in a format we want at a reasonable price to use as we see fit.

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, agree wholeheartedly with the premise of this article, which is why I will be using this opportunity to buy the collector’s edition of the Golden Globe winning movie, Barbie, on Blu-Ray, so that I can watch it whenever I want to.
In fact, I will be buying multiple copies, one for every room in my house, because you just never know.

I’ve been buying physical media (DVDs, BluRay) and ripping them with MakeMKV + Encoding them with HandBrake and use my cloud storage + a mix of Kodi and Infuse Pro to stream my shows.
I’ll rip a thousand DVDs before I let

I’ve been buying DVDs / blu-rays more in the past year than I have in probably the past decade.

I stopped buying physical discs when they started adding unskippable commercials at the beginning. Not sure if they still do that.
I did however receive a number of Blu-rays for a gift recently and I was able to redeem codes to add them to my iTunes library. Pretty cool… until Apple decides to not support it.

Given that modern players come with Android TV and other bloatware, the only option I see is piracy.
