I feel like you are purposefully ignoring the fact that you can easily get all of those movies (and tons of others not on streaming services) on DVD or Blu-ray for relatively cheap. As another commenter said, you can also rent them from any number of services for $2-$4.

- ghaff 6y agoAn external USB DVD player is about $15.
- iwasakabukiman 6y agoI feel like you're purposefully making this hypothetical difficult and throwing up as many roadblocks as possible. The obvious answer is that either you own a DVD player or you can get one for next to nothing. Amazon has region free ones for $25.

- bitwize 6y agoEighth generation consoles (except the Switch) have a drive that can play DVDs and Blu-Rays.
- ghaff 6y agoWhile I don't love the current state of affairs, I dropped cable TV recently (which I hardly ever watched) and I sort of take the attitude that it makes sense to keep my monthly subscriptions down and periodically buy, whether disc or streaming, or rent a la carte things I want to watch--especially given that I don't really watch all that much.
- zaarn 6y agoThat is no longer always possible, some movies just don't release on DVD or Blu-Ray anymore or it takes a very long time after release before they appear as Blu-Ray (as to not take profit from streaming services)
- iwasakabukiman 6y agoI don't see how that justifies torrenting it but most new movies are available within a few months on DVD/Blu-ray. (Obviously there are exceptions for things made by streaming companies but even those get physical releases eventually.
- zaarn 6y agoThere is plenty of movies that are not available to me. They're not available for streaming or as bluray, and in some cases cannot be imported legally either.
