    If there are no more discs to rip how will people get the movies and shows in the first place?

      For all their efforts in DRM, Netflix et al have thus far failed to prevent people from ripping their highest quality streams and torrenting them

      My setup has had 0 issues grabbing the latest “streaming only” content very quickly after release

        Having watched some of my favorites on Netflix, even with their 4K offering, the compression can kill a scene. Netflix has no incentive to provide the 0.1% of viewers who care about a better quality stream, so they don’t.
