You wouldn’t pay to not own a car

Ahem, what about car rentals when you travel? 😜 Just kidding: in this case you know very well you’re not owning the car and only using it for a very short time

You technically own the car, but some functionality is behind software locks and these days even paid subscriptions. How much do you really own?

Well, I have 10 Tb of pirated digital content sitting safely at my own home, so I would say yes, yes I do own a lot of digital stuff.

Right there with you buddy, 13TB and growing. Self hosted media servers are the best.

Those are rookie numbers. Need to start getting entire TV shows in 4k and things you’ve seen previously but may want to watch again in the future quickly and easily.

Personally can’t justify many series in 4k, some of the ones I have only ever got SD releases (DVD at best) but there are a few I can justify 4K for. Mainly very cinematic shows such as The Mandelorian or The Last of Us. As long as they have subtitles in the other shows and are available in their best original release resolution it’s fine for me.

For example if the original Doctor Who series had a 4K release for it’s entirety it would probably be my entire server lol. 693 episodes in 480p is almost 300GB.
