minus-squareBerlinblades@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 hours agoYou’re in for a surprise if you think buying Disney DVDs in particular IS a long term solution. I like to rip my paid for DVDs an play them from a hard drive,to save on wear and tear ESPECIALLY if kids want to be handling them. Except most Disney discs have an extra layer of drm that turns them in to an interesting Video Art Display if you run them through Handbrake. Once again, even if you purchased the product, Disney forces you to pirate something you already own if you want to watch their stuff.
