Please share. I dont understand where people get media especially legal nowadays. I would go to pirate bay if I need something.

I’m filling my wants of CDs and BDs from eBay, new stuff Amazon because I’m lazy. (then it lives on sans the case in a Case Logic binder)

Pretty straight forward for me.

I buy DVDs.

When they stop selling DVDs I'll have to reevaluate.

There's plenty of screen and audio capture technology that is immune to DRM (sending the signal across a primitive wire to a separate DRM-free device), check your area for legality, but I don't think any non-asshole would disagree with your moral right to backup your digital purchases.

But at some point if they keep making it hard for me to pay money for media, well, yo ho ho, and avast!
