Buy discs, rip the contents, seed torrents to share with comrades worldwide (please do this, I just want a HQ copy of Footfalls from the Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker soundtrack but I can't find it anywhere)
Somebody has to buy them to get the best quality rips.
I worry that if they stop selling Blu-Rays, there will be literally no way to get media in full uncompressed (minimally compressed? idk, just whatever makes Blu-Rays need like 50 GB) quality. No more BD Remuxes, just shitty WEBRips and maybe some WEB-DLs
They might be 4k, but they don't have the quality of Blu ray. They get compressed more to be easier to stream. Blu ray is usually the best quality the public gets to see (unless tapes or something leaks).
I doubt they'd ever do something like that for movies and tv. Blu-Ray quality can't really be streamed and a download would be 20-50 GB which they probably just don't want to offer or else they would have by now.
All the streaming services constantly adjust quality based on your connection, with no option to turn that off and let it buffer instead. I've had HBO Max go from looking fine to utter dogshit in the middle of a show. I pirated it after that. I was paying for the service (well, someone else was and I was using it) but still got a better experience from pirating a BDRip.
You’ll never know the feeling of the Shrek dvd menu looping for over 10 hours straight because you’re too depressed to get off the couch and turn the tv off.
Uh... I would simply pirate the content wholesale.

Look up Soulseek if you wish to get high quality music files, best P2P network for those
Need to do this, been fiending for music files after they shut down whatever subreddit that was popular for music sharing

do purchased digital movies have high quality? Like the ones in the screenshot? Or on iTunes? zdon't they have 4k digital movies?

That's just one place to get HQ music. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it's part of the solution.

Why not shoplift the discs and get the best of both worlds
If I was a big more ballsy, I might.
Pirates don’t get the special features, commentary, or fun 35 seconds long looping menu music.
Hey some of them include those as extras!
okay true :sadness:

Caillou did not age well, why is he still wearing pyjamas?
Why can’t Caillou wear them? Only kids get to have fun now? Swallowing my head
