A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they're all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me...

And all of that wouldnt be possible if you legally purchased all of this

Where can you forever-download these movies with no DRM?

Do you always rip it at max quality, indefinitely keep the physical copy, or repurchase it years later when you want higher quality?

Depends.
I only rip music cds as the file size isnt as big as with DVDs or BDs.
But I keep them indefinitely.
