If it happens to me I’ll immediately cancel and pirate over i2p just to spite them.

This is the correct response.

If I value a show/movie enough I’ll purchase it then rip the Blu-ray, but if it’s a show that’s only watchable by legal means over ad-supported streaming then fuck ‘em.

Why wait for it to happen to you personally?

I don’t really like the shit quality associated with pirating online; I resort to renting Blu-rays and dumping them to my NAS.

So edgy.

Yeah no, audio is easy because FLAC is everywhere but Blu-ray rips and the like are 99% of the time re-encoded and look like shit. Give me the BDMV or GTFO.

It's easy enough to find bluray repacks though?
