Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that's ridiculous.

Haha no it doesn’t.
unplugs NIC
rips blu-ray with blu-ray drive running old firmware
Or... Here me out, don't do that.
By giving them money, from their perspective, you've accepted their t&c. If they get data or not, that's just icing on the cake.
That doesn’t make sense.
The t&c relate to the data. If they don’t get it, it’s irrelevant. It’s not the icing, it’s the actual cake. The hardware is the icing at best. The way these companies act it’s basically a Trojan horse unless you’re careful. The market for dedicated Blu-ray players is unbelievably tiny.
You want my money for a piece of hardware? Sure. Fair exchange. I don’t see why we should object to that. It’s the everything else that’s the problem.
borrows blu-ray instead of buying it
