I have been rekindling my patronage to my county's libraries and archive.org.
Sure, these are DVDs, but they can be upscaled and are easily backed up.
I buy a crap load of books like I have a spending problem, but I get them used from bookstores and thriftstores. Libraries will always have something I can't find, with the added glory of browsing serendipity.
Sure, I like to pirate, but there is more treasure at your ports than you think.
It has content from almost every country, not just yours.
I feel you misread. I mean what I spelled, county, the collection of cities that define the specific region I live in.
My library card gives me access to many libraries in that county, which yes, has works from people across the globe.
Oh man. Ai can upscale DVDs.
Like. I can upscale anything. But damn.
You wouldn't upscale a car.
