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.

"It also enables the delivery of advertising content"

They already paid for the product! Double-dipping assholes

I wonder if these people think everyone wants to be advertised to.

I don't think they care

No, I am 100% certain they know that the vast majority of people don’t care and some people really really hate it, but nobody actually enjoys it.

Someone I know who is currently on a pseudoscience and conspiracy theory arc genuinely believes that personalized ads are good because then you can easily buy things you know you'll like

Yeah I just straight up pirate movies now, I don't even try to hide it from people anynore. It's clear to me at this point that all these companies care about is getting richer by the minute off the backs of the common man, and their excuses for doing so are getting more and more pathetic.

At least you can watch BDs without a web connection still. For now....

Also, LibreDrive is a thing for hacking BD drives with in order to bypass DRM, but I wouldn't be surprised if that got blocked and/or taken down at some point.
