Agreed. Here's a thing. If companies would allow people an easy and simple way for us to rip DVD's, BD's etc to a digital platform of our choosing. Like what we can do with CD's. With no DRM or some other BS you have to sign into. Physical owners would have best of both worlds. You still got the money of the consumer. But they really want the person to buy the BD, and than the digital copies. Than again on some other digital platform. Not be able to play them on this device, or that device. Without question. That's where they fail. Guess what. I dumped my Daredevil BD copy to my PC. So I can watch it with a few people over skype. They in turn all bought the S1 and 2  BD sets. Are you gonna argue I did something wrong?

So if companies would allow piracy to be easier you are sure they would profit more?

About digital version, In Brazil a lot of BDs I bought came with free digital version, I never once used them.

Who said piracy. We have the right to rip and copy CD's in iTunes, at will, for example. Why isn't this a normal thing towards DVD's, BD's, 4k Discs.

I don't use those version either. I want full control over bitrate, place where I want to use them, format, audio tracks, chapter markers etc. Which is why I rip all my BD's to my itunes. I have thousands of shows and movies on my itunes. All purchased leagally. But I'd be consider a pirate. Beacuse I bypassed copy protection guards to do it. Even though I don't share those files. And had people watch Daredevil in an unconvential way. IE: Public proformance. Again, technially illgeal. But they bought their copies. So... I'm not saying companies stop giving a shit and not protect their stuff. But, not everything falls under black and white.
