  That’s what they’re doing:

  Recently digitalized bunch of DVDs and BluRays.

    Fine. The solution is downloading everything instead, which is faster anyway

      Arguable. Internet around my are is fucking nuts on price. To save some coin, I am stuck with 100mbps. 30gb Bluray movie would take me approx 2.5h while MakeMKV would rip a disc in 50 minutes.

        Wow! Ok I get it. I have 5gb/s unlimited for 45 euros/month. With usenet I can download a 40GB movie in an hour (max server speed) if I wanted to. The issue I have is storage. I only have 4TB free on my 36TB NAS so I need to download lower quality (usually ~10GB per movie, 1-3GB pr episode) until I have saved enough money for a bigger NAS.

      True for content that is available this way, and if you have a flatrate broadband connection.

        Recently I have been able to download a Dutch TV series from 1969 for which I had multiple quality options. Unless it’s a home made video or something, I can’t imagine anything that isn’t available. But why use cases like that
