Happy holidays!

Thanks in advance and happy holidays!

Are you renting the movie? Are you buying the movie? I buy all my discs and then rip them and store the original in my garage. Just wondering. I will not rent a movie and then rip it. I spend the money to buy it so I can continue to buy movies in the future. Just saying.

Oh is that what we do here now? look for reasons to judge people?

Many forums will permanently ban users and delete all of their posts if they mention ripping non-owned stuff, to avoid the forum being shut down. And forums HAVE been shut down over it.

"Judging" someone's motives may play a part in it, but it's a defensive mechanism, too.

Given that the ONLY way to watch a BluRay on Linux is to rip it in so many setups, there isn't much need for this to be defensive at all.
