I too have gone back to ripping Blu Rays, but it is a pain. Sometimes I buy the blu-ray, then torrent the digital files.
If they'd just sell me a DRM free digital version, I'd be all over it. I'd probably end up paying _more_ than I do in subscriptions knowing I can watch how I want, when I want, for as long as I want.
I spend way more than $15/month on bandcamp for DRM free music (vs Spotify plan), give more money to artists, and cut down on streaming costs of the platforms.
- cableshaft 3y agoYeah I did Spotify for a while, but then went back to just buying DRM-free albums instead. I'm probably spending about the same amount, and I choose when I want to spend the money instead of just opening yet another vein for some corporate leech to suck my blood from.
- coreyp_1 3y agoWhere are you buying DRM-free albums? I'm currently just ripping my CDs (flac), but am completely undecided about new purchases.
- cableshaft 3y agoiTunes Store mostly. Those are all DRM-free. "All songs offered by the iTunes Store come without Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection. These DRM-free songs, called iTunes Plus, have no usage restrictions and feature high-quality, 256 kbps AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) encoding." https://support.apple.com/guide/music/intro-to-the-itunes-store-mus3e2346c2/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/music/intro-to-the-itunes-st...
