It's pretty sad. I'm in the process of moving, and while I did so, I shucked much of my DVD collection - Everything is in three ring binders now, because they're so much more convenient, and much smaller in my storage. While I was doing so, a bunch got ripped and transcoded into Jellyfin. It's pretty great, having them available all the time. Piracy is obviously an option, but it's not a great one. What? I really want out of my DVDs, though, is the assurance that I've got the same DVD as other people do. Advent of AI, there's no reason that I couldn't be being fed a different version of every show I watch than everyone else. I know. They could be rendering stuff in real time. It's not that far off. The nice thing about a hard copy is that it can't be changed on you. There's other ways of doing this of course, but having talked to library scientists of late, they are not nearly the right kind of paranoid for what I'm afraid of.
