Man ..... I really like physical media, but this seems to assert that anything was available on physical media and that was not the case. Motherfuckers need to look up "the disney vault" or be old enough to have tried buying anime in about 1994.
The idea programming being unavailable due to streaming/this is a new problem is a fucking myth.
@nixCraft And this is why I never got rid of my DVDs and CDs (except the ones I'm no longer interested in), and still buy the stuff I really want on physical media if possible.
@nixCraft People in the Indian subcontinent had to resort to (physical) piracy even back in the days of Cassettes, VHS, CDs, DVDs, or Cable TV. Hongkong, Bangkok and Dubai were our saviours. Sometimes, Nepal too. In essence, 'Unavailability of service' (back then) was a norm for many of us.
@nixCraft heard on the radio yesterday that buying 2nd hand CDs is making a sudden major reappearance, and all I can think is that maybe my borderline hoarder behaviour is fine because at least I didn't trash my childhood memories by relying on scummy streaming services 😂
