    Yeah seriously; never understood why a certain sector of people obsess over backing up their personal media, when you can literally download a perfect copy straight from the internet with no effort on your part. Especially when it comes to widely-available media like popular Hollywood films or video games that sold well. Just grab a torrent and toss the disc.

      Because these people often don’t want to pirate. In Germany the government now fines you for piracy, using a common VPN isn’t enough anymore. Then there are other factors such as remasters and changes.

      Fight Club, The Matrix, The Terminator and Star Wars are all popular films but there are several versions out there with different color grades and special effects. So I completely understand why this subset of people would want to keep their version of the movie.

        Yes, and you can find perfect exact copies of all versions of these movies if you look in the right places
