I'm back to sailing the high seas and dumping my loot into Plex.
Use your local library! Thousands of Blu-ray/DVD titles for free you can check out and rip freely. And then you don’t have to worry about any nasty letters from your ISP.
I honestly didn't even include a DVD/BluRay drive in my PC build, so can't really use those. And I tunnel all that traffic through Proton VPN, so ISP isn't an issue.
If you have a spare USB 3 port and a spare power outlet, then you can get an external 4K Bluray drive for $100 or less.
It may be cheaper to just buy an old PC for this purpose.
