Wow. This is why owning DVDs is better. And if you can't buy, download via torrents. Imagine these bastards rolling up to your home and reclaiming a movie you physically purchased. We gave them too much power. Time to withdraw it. Convenience is not worth this shit. Get uncomfortable and get your entertainment away from these streamers who don't give customers what they paid for.
DVD rental stores could surely make a comeback given these new developments. Libraries still loan movies as well. Remember, Barnes & Noble didn't run all independent bookstores out of business. And after Amazon savaged Barnes & Noble, Amazon Books suddenly came into existence (2015 - 2022). Greed driven corporations aren't the answer.
I love standard definition video
Meanwhile 1080p easily can be written on dvd. And with good codecs(like AV1) such videos can be very long.
Another DVD plus is never having it go pixelated or buffering while watching due to some streamer error or widespread cloud downtime or other issue. That one time purchase and watching it whenever I like for as long as I like, and not some corporation, is an impeccable experience.
Or you can simply dump DVD on your hard drive and put it on a shelf. DVD, but hard drive works too.
Owning my media is what's significant and I do in multiple ways that have been listed. It's not an issue which one I use. What's important is that media not being locked up by a corporation after I've "bought" it.
