what i’m hearing is, you have a moral obligation to future humans to burn copies of movies and preserve our culture

My laptop is from 2019 and I was surprised to see it had a disk drive.

Yeah, I don't buy laptops anymore, but I have an external and portable disc drive since I set up my desktop how I like it. I had a disc drive on it that I had since like 2007 (I kept reusing it) until maybe 3 years ago when I did an upgraded to my case without a slot.

you can buy external drives with burners for like 20 bucks

I mean, yes, but the majority of people aren't buying disc burners. Considering a lot of people tend to buy laptops like Macs that are pretty set.

Which is the whole point of my comment. People just like things that are easy and they aren't buying external stuff, unless you are really into disc burners/media etc.

tbh I shared that mainly bc up until like two years ago I didn't know external drives and burners are so cheap now

but yeah, you're not wrong, I hope the zoomers get into it as part of their y2k-mania

that religion that the pirate bay people founded, Kopimism? (Kopy mi - copy me) has the right idea lol

piracy is sacred and essential to preserve the culture

My terabyte drives are my Library of Alexandria.
