    Some idea for others: If OpenAI wins, then use this case when you get busted for sellling bootleg Blu-Rays (since DVDs are long obsolete) from your truck.

      Dvds still account for around half of physical media sales. Far from obsolete.

        Although that’s mostly because physical media sales are in the toilet.

        While Blu-ray and HD-DVD were arguing over what comes after DVDs, they were both consigned to the dustbin. And while I like to not be reliant on subscription services, I’ve got to say a bunch of files on a Jellyfin server is much more convenient than a shelf full of plastic and foil discs.

        With modern internet speeds, there’s no reason you can’t have full UHD-BR quality streamed over the internet.

          Cost is a prohibitive reason for many (hardware, internet).

          I do believe files are better than physical media, simply because with the proper setup they’re easily backed up and won’t degrade or break.
