       @fribbledom Ah yes... but it sounds like you can also just buy it online & the DVDs are specifically for people on slower connections.I’m glad I don’t have a Windows machine just to avoid getting sucked into FS. 😅

       @fribbledom @tsturm DVDs are digital donchaknow ;PIn all seriousness thou, it's the license that matters.  These days you don't have any more rights to that dvd copy than a digital download."I have the bits and they can't take them away" means, when they do revoke rights, you just accept using the bits in violation.I buy the digital download, and also accept it will be a violation when I inevitably need to pirate what I paid for :}I don't feel they are ethically different.

       @dissy614 @tsturm My personal rule:If I can't lend my copy to a friend or eventually sell it, I'm not going for digital goods.
