Just pirate it. Get a VPN, get BitTorrent on ur phone and literally Google for any movie and the word torrent. This isn't fucking hard.

    Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.

    That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.

    Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to "ownership of a license" nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.
