    I wonder what the impact on piracy will be? It’s probably harder to rip streaming services than it is to rip blu-rays…

      Its trivially more difficult to do webrips. It will likely have the opposite effect of what you’re thinking of, some people that would buy blurays will just pirate now.

        If someone buys a disc, they own it and it’s a one off. To be tied to subscription services will see the Jolly Roger fly again in Australia.

        Remember when we were the country known to be the largest pirates?

      So long as you are using a cable to send images and video to a TV, someone will find a way to intercept and record it.

      The bigger issue is that Blurays are the highest quality video there is, especially when it comes to audio. For those who do care this is deviating.
