Imagine enforcing shitty copyright laws on yourself like some code of honor. We developed the technology to make infinite copies of any media and then spend endless resources fighting it because it undermines our parasitic economic model.

Imagine for a moment that society embraced the full potential of digital technology. We could have a library of all human art and knowledge ever produced available for free, instantly, everywhere. If book libraries didn't already exist and were proposed today the excuses for rejecting it would be the same. The answer is also the same, change our economic model to support people's basic needs unconditionally and directly subsidize the production we need/want (like art).

What if you destroy the physical media so noone else can use it and then keep your digital copy in its place?

Once the original media is gone so it the right to watch it.

But who would check that? A raid? This is so pointless. You are not using it, you have paid for it, you are just occupying space with a useless piece of plastic...
