Truth.

Or rent or buy for some rather large sum. No thanks.

You don't want to rent a 38 year old movie for 9.99? But it takes so much effort for them to lend it to you!

You can always buy the golden remastered cinematic ultimate edition that's part of this collector edition of 12 movies for 355 dollars. It's a great deal, really.

Digital Collectors Edition, comes with a digital movie, digital pictures, and a digital directors blog. None of which you actually own, so it can be removed from your collection that you collected as a collector....

Right? FFS just make old movies $1.99 or something.

For some movies it's literally cheaper to buy a physical copy online and get it shipped to you, than buying a short license on a random platform.

Or in the bargain bin at places like BestBuy.

Torrents are becoming an internet archive of sorts, so long as the sharing/seeders of the old files don’t go offline or delete the files.

“Rent for £3.99”

But I already pay for Amazon Prime, wtf? Greedy bastards…
