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.

I legitimately cannot remember the last time I paid for a movie or TV show, or music.

Digitally, or physically.

Even if you count streaming services, its been over 5 years since I laid for Spotify... stopped paying for any kind of on demand videos before even that.

Friends wanna watch a movie at my place? Oh, I have a 10 TB library.

Oh, at your place? Does your TV have a USB port? Tell me its model number and I can figure out what codecs it can actually read.
