  Technically network connected blu ray players can be updated to region lock you out of your content.

    So don’t connect them to the Internet

      Yes, just being pedantic with a risk that people don’t think of.

      I think the blu ray secret keys leaked so you can rip them anyways.

        Normal blurays are easy to rip. The 4k ones need a drive with hacked firmware.

  That’s completely bullshit. I can’t hold any of the thousands of videos on my NAS, yet they can’t remove access to them.

    Hold in your had = physical access.

    NAS counts

    You can’t hold your NAS? It actually weighs very slightly more with data on it.

    DVD have already polluted and currently exist and are rotting, and need to be ripped to longer term storage, especially for media that is becoming lost and needs a custodian to host so it can be pirated online. A lot of things cannot because no one has it, but it still exists in physical form.

  DVD and especially blue ray still have DRM and license terms, which . means you still don’t own it. Only way to own media is to pirate it

    license terms

    In most places ownership laws make those licences unenforceable - not in the legal sense, but practically - hard to lock you out of a DVD.

    Great option for those still politically opposed to pirating stuff.

    Yeah, that’s a fair point.
