I don’t disagree, but there person to whom I was replying said they were after legal copies. That means you’re going to pay for them, digital or physical. 🤷♂️
Imagine being a One Piece, Bleach or similar fan and wanting the full collection… 😬
Whilst I agree, there’s (currently) nothing stopping you from buying the DVDs? Many of the shows I’ve wanted own for repeat watching are released that way.
Though it’s probably a time-limited thing, given that physical media is getting rarer and everything is now all about rent-seeking, where you’ll own nothing, have nothing to hold, and be thankful to be able to pay monthly for it.
Interesting. This isn’t the “‘no’ with lots of words LOL” that I expected from a/their CEO, and does more to highlight the problems with Netflix’s model.
The situation definitely sucks.
What’s the saying about piracy? It’s not a morality problem - it’s a service (business model) problem.
“The easiest way to stop piracy… is to give those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.” -Gabe Newell
Disagree with you on the BD issue, though. Much more capacity, higher quality video and audio, and drives are dirt cheap. I have a BDROM in an external enclosure, and it handles DVD and BD perfectly. 🤷♂️
