In Portland, Ore., Brittany Trahan started buying DVDs rather than paying for Netflix and Apple TV, while Lisa Shannon has been relying on public transit instead of taking an Uber. And in McDonough, Ga., Brian Seymour II has been embracing the cold to shop locally instead of buying through Amazon.
They’re among a growing number of Americans participating in a boycott this month, targeting tech companies who, they believe, are not doing enough to stand up against President Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown.
Odd choice just pirate and teach others how to aswell. Hurts in this case Netflix way more
Pirating can be legally cut off. DVDs can’t
They’ve been trying for how long now? The pirates always win in the end.
With streaming companies owning the content, buying DVDs is just another way of financially supporting the same companies for worse quality.
Even when one platform is taken down, there are new ones launched in their place. Nothing guarantees that DVDs will continue to be produced in perpetuity, just as digital copies of video games are progressively becoming less and less prevalent.
Theres a way to combine the best of both of them :)
Yes but after a while you may start to yearn for some rarer things as well. There’s still lots of pre-lost media out there on rotting dvds waiting for custodianship that I haven’t been able to find online. There’s also some newer HD rereleases having single channel and lower quality or something, so finding the original dvds is better sometimes.
