Of course I ripped this 4k video from my DVD officer! Personally, I wish there was an option to do this completely legally, without any gray area, no DRM, and for a reasonable price. I don't like having physical media (it can get scratched or lost), so I'd much rather have digital if I can. I think the perfect solution here is to use signatures (say, pgp), which would let me prove ownership without complicating my consumption of that media (I could copy it wherever I need to). But no, the media companies are paranoid about piracy. Don't they realize that if they make their content easier to get for a reasonable price, people will choose to go through legal channels instead of pirating?
