I’m sorry to hear that, but yeah I rip my media and then stream it, it’s more about obtaining my copy that they can’t take away. I’m glad your backups made it!
as long as it’s on your computer/server and it’s not dependent on an online service, I’m all for it. Vudu is a great example of what can happen with online purchases
That’s allowed. You have many options for digital media. I don’t like spicy food. Upsets my tum tum. But if corporations were actively keeping spicy food off the market, I wouldn’t say “Well that’s great, because I hate spicy food.” That would just be ridiculous.
Same. I understand all of the reasons why people prefer physical media, but after buying the same movie across three generations of physical media between VHS / DVD / Blueray / 4K UHD and now Dolby, I’d just prefer to have it once and get access to the best copy modern technology allows.
It’s also supremely easier to download a purchased digital copy instead of buying physical media, rip it, find increasing storage, find a player like Plex, maintain my own Plex server and hardware, and then download it.
I’ve done Plex for years with physical media, downloading a digital copy is simply a better consumer experience.
As a consumer I hate physical media
yeah I hate owning things that I can keep and hold on to without someone revoking it away from me.
My physical media was destroyed in a fire, but I still have my backed up digital library. We all accept some risk!

I already have that with digital media though. I don’t do subscriptions.

Yes, I always save my own copy of any content I wish to keep.

Why?
If they’re anything like me it’s an overriding laziness!
We listened to the same audio cassette that was stuck in our car for nearly 6 months rather than spend the hour it eventually took sort it out.
I still love No Doubt though.
This place with only one cassette tape sounds like a Tragic Kingdom to me.
…And I would walk 500 miles
Quite the opposite!
But you should swim -500 kilometers?
Is it possible?
It takes up space and meeds special equipment to use.
To be fair, so does digital media/streaming
