Yeah, I'd buy a lot more if there was a DRM-free way to buy media. Bluray is a pain to rip and I hate having to deal with discs.
But no, media companies are intent on keeping piracy easier than legitimate purchases. I go through the effort to rip my discs, but many won't bother.
That's basically what I want, and what should exist. File sizes aren't much different to modern day games, people are also willing to pay if the quality is there.
Yup, give me something like GOG, but for movies, and I'll buy a bunch.
