DVDs and Blurays are still pretty common. They’re not actually DRM-free, but DVD DRM is completely broken and BR decryption keys seem to be easily obtained. And you can rip the disc if you want to make a digital copy.
They have DRM, even if easy to go around it, it doesn’t make sense to pay loads for a shitty medium with obstacles to getting what’s on it… it sends the wrong message to the criminal organisations peddling them.
AFAIK there’s still no way to dynamically link to posts or comments on Lemmy. :( You can only link communities or users.
Anyway, totally agree. Being technically able to bypass DRM doesn’t make it okay. I’m honestly not sure how to rip a Blu-ray on Linux anyway. I haven’t looked into it in years so maybe it’s easier now than I remember.

Their days are numbered though as companies like Best Buy won’t carry them anymore.

That might explain some insane replies I’ve seen in the past.
