eh, I am not using it for piracy; I just like the convenience of streaming services. So my plex library is all blurays, DVDs and a handful of VHS’s that have been digitally encoded.
However, availability of bluray for new titles seems to be waning. so I can imagine many who use plex like I do will turn to piracy soon.
I’m weird though and prefer to own my stuff, I hate renting and especially I hate services which rent an entire library at once and lock it out completely without me paying arbitrarily. Feels like they are landlords of media, instead of constructors.
- tacticalturtle 3y agoIf we’re being pedantic though - in the US, streaming blu-rays and DVDs is also violating the DMCA, because presumably there was a step involved by the operator to bypass the encryption on the disk. Other than family home videos, it’s pretty hard to find a 100% “legal” source of content for Plex.
