  You thought blu ray sales would just continue forever?

    If they’re decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can’t own anything anymore

      What? No. If I write data to a Blu-ray it’s not encrypted. This comment makes little sense.
