Ownership rights are buried in the fine print and downloading or buying physical copies may be the only ways to keep your favourites

    Physical media is bad for the environment and should be banned already. Get a NAS and selfhost

      Is there any way to build a library for a NAS without illegally downloading it?

        Yeah, there’s that physical media.

        I think that “bad for the environment” gripe is pretty weak. By that argument so are books. Meh.

      TBF I’m pretty sure all the rare earth minerals and manufacturing that goes into the NAS and hard disks is far worse than some small plastic discs. I say this a a huge NAS user myself.

      Self host what? Last I checked physical media is the only way to own something.
