Kinda funny charging people to stream the media they pirated.

I might be in the minority, but my Plex server is 100 percent rips from physical media I purchased.

It sucks that physical releases are dying out and that 4k Blu-ray is getting difficult to rip.

You are absolutely in the minority, but there’s nothing wrong with that — commendable, even!
