2000+ rips on my 8 drive NAS

So you pay people so they can commit a crime? They're not making much money if they have to pay the BluRay from the money you give them.

20 harddrives of varying sizes in various zfs arrays, in a Norco server case. I think 5,000 discs* ripped over the 13 years since I joined these forums.

I've still got four bays free in this case, then I'll start seriously looking for a 36 bay supermicro case at not stupid money.

*Discs that I own. Bought new or second hand, or donated by people who don't need them anymore because streaming is the future. Go figure.

Asking an assistant to buy a blu-ray with my own money (since I pay them/reimburse this expense) and ripping the disc for my own personal use falls under the "fair use" clause. It's not a crime. If you think this is a crime, then nearly every user of MakeMKV here on this forum is a criminal.

Hmm... Okay, we're at cross-purposes then.

I'm not just trying to build a media library, I am trying to convert my physical media library to digital mainly for the sake of convenience (being able to organize and play it via Plex).

I still own everything I've ever ripped, it's just that I have boxes and boxes of titles in storage that I don't have the room to display, which doesn't exactly make it convenient to find and watch anything in particular.
