People pay for streaming and then complaining that their shows keep disappearing. Knowing full well that they are only allowed to watch the shows as long as the streaming service allows them to watch.
I truly don’t understand it. If they wanna do it go for it I’m not going to sit here and rip on them. I just don’t understand why. I say go by the disc so that way you own it. Then rip it to make your own digital file. Now with that digital file, you can do anything you want with it.
Completely agree. I'll never pay for entertainment, with the sole exception of videogames and the rare content creator I want to support. Everything else, I'll do everything in my power to have offline and backuped so I never lose access.
