The problem for me is that the few movies or series that I would want to watch are either unavailable or on different streaming services.
I'd rather just pay for high quality DRM free file(or by this time at least just a license to watch them indefinitely on a clean platform I could have at least a shred of trust won't yank them without refunds at some point). but apparently that is not legally available unless I'd want to hunt down the shrinking supply of physical discs and rip them myself.
Add to that the awful experience on basically every platform. From horrible discoverability to artificialy limiting video quality I already paid for to terrible UX. I only bother on average a month per streaming service per several years.

If you can't obtain it legally, what stops you from just doing obtaining it by other methods? Why bother going through the proper channels when whatever giant corporation is happy to yank the rights to whatever you've purchased access to?
I guess...I just feel no moral quandary here. I've looked at lots of DVDs at thrift stores, still have my own collection of them as well, but I just don't feel like I need to go through the rigamarole of buying a DVD at the thrift store to rip it just so I can feel like I'm doing what they want me to do to stay in their good graces. I can find whatever I want with a few keystrokes and then "own" it forever on my media server.
I'm just trying to poke at why we should play by the rules when no one else is?
I've been wondering about the legality of ripping if you lose or get rid of the original copy. Is your once legal copy now illegal? How can you prove you ever owned it?

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Answer in Progress is trying to save you from the decision paralysis and subscription fatigue that comes with video streaming subscription.
We made this tool to help you choose a streaming subscription based on whether it has what you actually want to watch.
You can help us by sharing your thoughts on streaming (and this tool) by filling out this survey: https://forms.gle/hPXcCLrVXH4bgpkEA
HOW IT WORKS
Add movies or TV show titles that you want to watch.
We check which services stream them in your region.
You see a ranked list of services with the most content you want to see.
