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

      Buy physical media from independent production companies. Pirate whatever Disney, Netflix and Amazon are cranking out.

      Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.

      That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.

      Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to “ownership of a license” nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.

      Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted; not everyone is comfortable (technologically or morally) with pirating.

        Apparently people are uncomfortable with the idea that some people aren’t in to Piracy.
