Given all the difficulties caused by DRM idiocy that you describe, why not quit being tempted and just do it?
If ever shitty, avaricious, unreasonable, idiotic little laws that absolutely deserve to be broken existed, it's those around DRM for movies and TV shows. There's no practical reason to be squeamish about breaking them. As you say, fuck DRM, so why not apply exactly that?
- gravescale 3y agoWhy would one even be squeamish about it! I would understand torrenting the whole bunch being something you might not wish to do (mostly since you'll be uploading and might cop a "you've been a bad boy" letter if you're very unlucky). You would be done pretty quickly though, depending on your network speed. But ripping from disks that you own and paid for and keeping it private is like the very definition of a victimless not-even-a-crime there is going!
