thinking outside of the box

ok everyone

here is another tip, please take it to heart.

requirements:
computer with windows 11 or latest mac o/s
a certain legal account to your bought video files.

use streamfab or something like that to download your purchased video files with some limitations, but over time you get everything that a online vendor video service does not want you to download to a permanent storage device. if you want to go dirt cheap just go to the jolly roger and download and install a free version of the app. i encourage this since that female ceo took all 551 movies on her service down without a refund to the people that bought those movies and no longer have them. so everyone listen up, any kind of service like that is prone to do the samething, so time to think ahead. access your libraries online and make backups of your copies of movies. for example sites named mov##sany##ere, ##fan@h####, or a@@@@on .

This is sadly not unique - copy/pasting a post I made at the GOG forum back in 2020:

The piece below is copied from the November 2018 issue of Home Cinema Choice ("in The Mix" by Jon Thompson):

The wrongs of rights
According to my HCC colleague John Archer, a man contacted him to ask why of the one hundred 4K titles he'd purchased via Apple's iTunes service, he now had only one title showing in his virtual collection, They had just vanished. To add insult to injury, some people are now reporting that they're being asked to buy titles that they've already bought, in an issue involving a movie studio renewing with another distributor and altering the titles' current rights.
That a studio can renew its contract with the provider, and titles that are no longer in the renewal will disappear, shows how stupid the online content business is.
Another scenario arises if the provider goes bankrupt or stops its services. If that happened from a physical media company, I would still be able to play the disc and it would probably go up in value as it would now be rare. A classic example of this is the Channel 4 TV series Live from Abbey Road. The Blu-ray master was physically lost so you could no longer nip to a shop to get a copy of the Series 1 disc - if you look on eBay, you can see it selling for more than £500. Another example of why virtual media is not just virtually worthless - it is worthless.
