You don't need to pirate it, you can just continue to buy physical media. CDs are unencrypted. The encryption on DVDs and blu-rays has long been broken. I continue to buy physical discs, rip them into my library, and then keep the discs as backups. It's the best of all worlds, and is both legal (in most places) and moral.
- shmde 6y agoWhat if you cannot buy the blu ray in your region and wanna watch a particular movie ?
- mackrevinack 6y agoive never been able to stomach that idea of having a physical collection of all my favourite movies or albums. some day in the future when you kick the bucket they will all be thrown out. maybe if you are lucky they might be sold off to some other collector or recycled but i would bet that eventually a lot of it will end up in a landfill somewhere. it just seems like such an absurd idea that everyone would have their own collection of media like this. all of that plastic being generated and then eventually thrown out just so you can have a dvd sit on a shelf where you will use it once every few years, once a decade or maybe once and then never again. i don't know if moral is a word i would use to describe all that
- dtx1 6y agoHow inconvenient. Waiting for a CD/DVD to be delivered, ripping and cracking, saving it to my NAS where it cost even more money in form of storage space vs having a 5$/month vpn a raspberry pi with a harddrive connnected to it and just clicking download for whatever i need, whenever i want. The Idea of netflix and other streaming services is geat, i really like it, it's just the cable-tv-packagification that annoys me.
