this is why I still buy discs

Uh… I would simply pirate the content wholesale.

Somebody has to buy them to get the best quality rips.

I worry that if they stop selling Blu-Rays, there will be literally no way to get media in full uncompressed (minimally compressed? idk, just whatever makes Blu-Rays need like 50 GB) quality. No more BD Remuxes, just shitty WEBRips and maybe some WEB-DLs

They might be 4k, but they don’t have the quality of Blu ray. They get compressed more to be easier to stream. Blu ray is usually the best quality the public gets to see (unless tapes or something leaks).

That’s just one place to get HQ music. It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s part of the solution.

I doubt they’d ever do something like that for movies and tv. Blu-Ray quality can’t really be streamed and a download would be 20-50 GB which they probably just don’t want to offer or else they would have by now.

Buy discs, rip the contents, seed torrents to share with comrades worldwide (please do this, I just want a HQ copy of Footfalls from the Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker soundtrack but I can’t find it anywhere)

Pirates don’t get the special features, commentary, or fun 35 seconds long looping menu music.

The torrent uploader Tigole (from the release group QxR) usually includes special features and commentaries on their torrents. HeVK, who uploads a lot of great horror films, includes commentaries as well.

You’ll never know the feeling of the Shrek dvd menu looping for over 10 hours straight because you’re too depressed to get off the couch and turn the tv off.
