Buy those discs before they go away!
I will pirate movies I already own the physical disks for. It's quicker and easier than finding the disk (and likely having to sit through the ads that are on it).
It's not piracy if you own the movies ???
That depends on local laws. Downloading a copy of something you already own is legit in some countries, but in others it still counts as piracy.
I started buying blu rays for the movies I really care to watch more than once. I can rip it to my Plex server and if I decide I don't want it I can go back to the local used movie shop and trade it in for some new discs.
That's the neat part. As they're a physical object.... They don't 'go away', their license doesn't expire.
You can just borrow them down at the library and rip them yourself, or buy them at a local discount store.
