Not looking so bad now

They tried to kill piracy so many times, and it never worked.
They will try again and fail again. And the best of it is that sales won't go up anyway because the problem is not piracy, is their own greed.
If they somehow manage to completely kill piracy, I won't be able to pay for every streaming service anyway because I don't have the time to enjoy them all nor I think they are worth my money at all.
Even if the internet dies.
Sneaker net was here before . And will be here afterwards..

Those are the same things
how about fucking don't? Local Libraries are our friends!

It would be a funny comment if that were not a very real attack used against libraries.

Luckily I saved all of my blu-rays. And, bonus: they're all good movies from before Disney went to shit
you got Blu Rays from before Steamboat Willy?

We'll just start doing what we did before the internet: go to each other homes and copy from their source.

There’s only so many times I want to watch the same movie, so my library would be limited
We need Bluray/DVD rental stores back.
Many libraries have large DVD collections.

I want to be in the room when they plug that VCR into a 70-in TV and hit play just to see their faces.
Keep a 13-inch TV around?

We're running out of safe havens to host, I feel. Countries that won't submit to the industry's will. With the additional clamping down on material not government-sanctioned recently, with invasive biometric and ID checks, it certainly feels like the wrong direction.
Meanwhile NZB will still exist and never targeted. Funny how they hate torrents so much when NZB is superior and easier.

My vcr and all old consoles actually work fine on my shitty insignia flat-screen. But I'd rather play on my crt or projector tv.

You got it backwards. The Sith are the corpos and the resistance is piracy.

I like that blu-ray looked at the DVD logo and said “we can italicize more than that”

Blu-ray still has functional DRM. DVDs only, thank you. With backup on magnetic.

I already have more media than I could watch in a lifetime on a home server, if we lose new media I can happily enjoy the old stuff for decades to come

Casual reminder, Sony and Intel tried to tether Blu-ray discs to SGX DRM, which was killed just a few years after they introduced the standard, rendering all of your SGX DRM Blu-rays unplayable on PC. They disabled it so quickly, because people could use Intel SGX DRM for remote code execution in your machine, below the operating system and kernel level.
Also, if you have one of the CPUs which still has SGX DRM, congratulations, you have a hardware Trojan! Digital restrictions management is a cancer because look at what it does in reality, vs. what they say. Who came up with this?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm not really sure what you mean. Yoda is responding to Obi-Wan who had just said "That boy is our last hope". Yoda was referring to the fact that there is another Skywalker (Leia). So in this context, Luke would be physical media, Leia would be piracy, and the streaming services would be the Sith/Empire.

In the movie, Robert Downey Jr's character said...
I know you're talking about Tropic Thunder, but how many other people would?
That's a great point because my first thought was Iron Man, which would also be believable. XD

DVD, Blueray, VHS? I've never heard of those torrent sites before
️Because I'm uncreative, I'm just going to steal the joke from Sseth.
Because the vehicle in From Software's game, Elden Ring, is called "Torrent", I can't wait for the next From Soft character "Punjabi Codex Denuvo, pre-cracked Novirus [MeGusta]".

Burn your "acquired media" to physical media now folks. The powers that be are purposely limiting physical media so the have an excuse to phase it out
instructions unclear, set fire to my entire DVD collection

I started building an all-BluRay collection back in 2018. I saw the writing on the wall when I would go to watch a movie with friends on streaming and it would be gone.
Almost all of my favorite movies are mine now. I see a lot of comments talking about pirating, but for me personally, the display I get and being able to just have guests grab from the wall is a lot cooler than scrolling.
Not to mention, some of them are quite collectible. It’s neat having some movies that are really rare and I know I had to work to find them.
I highly suggest that you make ripped backups. I learned the hard way, I digitised my grandfather's CD collection and some of his DVDs, some of which were already damaged beyond repair. Some of his broken DVDs are less than 20 years old. They are not scratched, they are in mint condition.

Genuinely curious how are publishers limiting physical media? I haven't bought a blu-ray in a long while.
