Do they still plan to compete by making their service suck more, through higher prices, more ads, and less content? I'm so glad I ripped all my DVDs

  i read on twitter a while back about some tv writer who was really happy because they managed to find someone who sent them pirated dvds of their work. apparently when disney+ removed the show from their catalog, it was otherwise lost to the world. that is definitely not the promise of streaming services that i remember from when they was first starting to gain popularity.

    Pirates are better archivists than any media company. The effort put in to meticulous curation of content libraries on private trackers is really incredible.

      Look at the payoffs. The company's payoffs are those primarily of its C suite: bonuses paid based on short term results. The unsanctioned archivists have the payoff of the enjoyment they get from preserving and sharing media they love, which has no built in time limit like the former.

    No linux version?
    • snvzz 3y ago
      There's definitely Linux support. I never used makemkv in an OS other than Linux.
