1 year agothere are no longer many movies i like that much and if so i usually jtst buy the dvd.
it got way too complicated nowadays. starting with megabig files you not always can easily covert and watch.
then there is stuff i saw on tv which isn’t available for free often not even can be bought. i have never figured out how to crack these coded stuff. so it just is on a storage disc. i hate it but don’t know a way around.
so, you certainly are not alone.
when amazon books could be de-drmed and “my” torrent site showed an interest/appreciation for uploaders i often uploaded ebouks i had bought.
well, both is no longer the case but if it were i still would.
i also occassionally buy music, books and even movies i very much like.
also i adhore being dependant on the whims of a company, being it amazon, netflix or spotify. i want a physical or at least selfowned copy of what i paid for and not only the licence to consume.
