Why not just rip them? I used to rip all of my DVDs, but then found I never watched those rips, and now I'd rather just pay $5 to watch the 4k version than track down my "free" 480i copy.


Ripping them is exactly as illegal as torrenting while being harder to do and the tools to remove DRM from content are under constant attack. It's easier to just torrent.


Thanks, I didn't realize what a hassle the DRM stuff had become.


That's such a hassle. I only do that with movies I can't find good torrents for. (My local library has a pretty good DVD collection.)


Takes a lot longer than search, click magnet link, open file.
