Comment on The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone)

  Yeah, but I bet the best quality copies of what you have on there were at some point ripped from Blu-rays. The death of physical media will hurt anyone who wants to “own” their library. Unless we get the GOG of Movies where high quality DRM-free copies can be bought, they are going to keep pushing everyone to their subscription streaming sites until the idea of owning media dies. Blu-ray is the last mainstream bastion of owning your movies. I agree the plastic is a problem, but let’s get a good replacement before we throw out what we have.

  You don’t lose or wreck the good ones.

    Case in point: of all my Cult CDs, only “Ceremony” was super trashed when it fell outta my discman and onto gravel on the way to school. “Sonic Temple”, “Electric” and “Dreamtime”? Played a million times and still pristine.
