I agree.  And after a while, when optical disc formats started to decline, I won
dered if they'd start selling movies on USB flash drives instead.  But of course
, that hasn't happened..  They still want to be able to control how we watch the
 content and try to prevent people from making copies of it.

I've ripped some of my movies - Not all, but some, and put them on my Plex media
 server.  Eventually, I think it would probably be good to just rip them all and
 buy a USB hard drive to back them up onto.
