    The streaming services have managed to completely forget their business model of being marginally more convenient than piracy.

    As for me, though, I’ll start ripping my DVDs. I’ll sail the high seas when I have to, but I’d may as well get hard copies of my favourite films and TV shows.

        Depends on the quality of the rip. As far as streaming goes, yes the Blu-ray will always look and sound better due to the huge bitrate difference. Netflix says “oh it’s 4k!” Okay great, but resolution has little to do with quality. It’s all how much information is available per second (bitrate).
