    options to simply pay for content and get high quality DRM free files (edit: I mean legally)?

    Lmao. Heard of geoblocking? My Jellyfin instance has no geoblocking tho. 🙆

      Ah, good point. I had briefly heard of this and was shocked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

      For anyone who hasn’t heard:

      This is achieved by way of region-locked DVD players, which will play back only DVDs encoded to their region (plus those without any region code).

      This definitely furthers the original post’s point. And he may have even mentioned it.

      It’s infuriating that you can pay for something and then move, and lose your collection. This comes to mind: https://xkcd.com/488/

        This is way the piracy is the only way to enjoy content without any bullshit.
