Sure but buying a DVD isn't great either as it has a real destroying the earth cost for something that can be delivered to me using a negligible amount of energy digitally. I don't think there's a way of getting movies/tv shows reasonably in 2022, though I don't mind paying for, and do pay for subscription services such as Netflix, I just pirate the content anyway because it's a much better user experience.
At least it's still mostly possible to buy a set of *.flac files when you want some music.

I Then buy the streaming version. If it is available by DVD, then you can probably find it available to purchase digitally.
- thot_experiment 4y agoReally? Just as a litmus test, the last movie I pirated was a 10bit 4k rip of "The Matrix" which comes in at about 40gigs. This is about the level of quality I'm looking for in a file I buy, sorry if I was misleading w/ my mention of DVD. Practically speaking this is similar to having a *.flac of a song, as it enables me to transcode to lower quality versions for use on different devices from a high quality master. Is this something I can pay for?
- bestnameever 4y agoYes, you can purchase or rent the physical copy.
- Too 4y agoPlease enlighten me where I can buy a streaming movie that can be watch without login, transferred to another service or transferred to another of my devices.
