Blu-ray is dying and I hate it
Discussion
Nooo bluray is where I keep all my stuff
All the films I watch, all the games i play and all the music i listen are stored securely on my HD and seeding through torrents. I don't trust even a millimeter these corporations.
If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing

That is kinda the problem though. Owning a bluray is the closest we can get to legal ownership. But it's grossly inferior to pirated copies on a network attached hard drive.
So all of the enthusiasts are pirating because, who has time to rip all their bluerays? It's easier just to torrent them. Even if you buy it.
Blu-ray disk are the #1 source of all those pirated movies. Streaming copies are much harder to rip because it's a moving target and are much inferior in quality.
When Blu-ray dies, with no physical successor that's the end for high quality pirated movies.
Are we all gonna have some kinda movie Spotify membership in the future?
Usually torrent networks have good quality BD-Rips. I don't know exactly the compression methody they use (because most of my movies are in 1080p) but I assume they have good cost-benefit in terms of size / quality
They all use handbrake with mostly standard settings.
But yeah they won't have any blu-rays to use as source material in like 10 years.
I hope companties will consider offering drm free downloads one day. It happened with music. It could happen with movies too.
Apple digital movies are absolute shit. They limit the amount of devices you can watch it to like 3 in it's entire life.
