This sounds like a terrible alternative
- many shows are Netflix only, so you can’t get them on $1-2 DVDs
- newer movies and shows are certainly not $1-2 per disc
- DVD is at most 480p
- buying a server is expensive
In order to save money you are proposing an inferior solution that…costs more money.
- rchaud 3y agoYou can get DVDs for free at a library. Netflix's store brand TV shows being unavailable on DVD due to platform lock-in is unsurprising.
- Zambyte 3y agoIs it legal to copy DVDs that you check out of the library if you don't distribute it?
- prepend 3y agoIt’s as legal as ripping a dvd you own. That is it violates the license, but I think it’s fair use and has never been prosecuted. It’s also pretty much impossible to detect unless you distribute. Same as ripping a dvd from a friend.
- thrtythreeforty 3y agoNot in the United States. In addition to the copyright violation, it's also a DMCA violation.
