We're running out of safe havens to host, I feel. Countries that won't submit to the industry's will. With the additional clamping down on material not government-sanctioned recently, with invasive biometric and ID checks, it certainly feels like the wrong direction.
I wonder how tough it would be for someone to start a DVD cottage industry, replicating the old Netflix model, where you mail hard copies of pirated movies upon request? I already order hard copies of movies from Amazon if I know I want them in my collection permanently, but damn, sometimes those are pricey as hell
Good luck doing that at all inconspicuously considering you'd need to spin up disc processing plants or somehow get your hands on thousands of DVD-/+R blanks.
(I'm pretty sure if you tried to burn a DVD-Video disc with M-DISC media, that it wouldn't be readable in most players).
Another business plan dashed!
