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

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

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 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.

Just pirate it. Get a VPN, get BitTorrent on ur phone and literally Google for any movie and the word torrent. This isn’t fucking hard.

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.
