Sooo... where's the self-hosted material coming from if Bluray's aren't being produced any more?

If the high seas dries up, are we up shit creek and have to stream?

    Yeah, piracy is the last bastion of privately controlled media files

    Doesn't seem like it's going away though

    Until they enforce government ID verification on every website & ban VPN's. Mark my words, that's what they'll try to push under the guise of "save the children"

    The .torrent files would just be distributed over i2p or tor then. It'd be one add-on to the seedbox. Nothing would change for most people already familiar with docker etc.
