I mean, the Blu-Rays are still easy enough to find and rip, although you have to spend $40 on season 1 because they never released reason 1 as one set. But honestly, giving Paramount cash in any form isn't that compelling.
I can find it with ease on my streaming platform (my personal media center)...
Just now I binge watched Neagly from a hotel a state away from the server. Streaming ST works just fine too, lol.
I've been saying for over 20 years, we need one opensource non-profit member operated streaming platform, where content can be held and shared by all members via a streamable Torrent protocol.
Host what you want, share what bandwidth you can, and access everything available, for one user fee, or for free, your call.
Basically just that we have now with Torrents, but with a centrally controlled legal Popcorn Time like application, standardized file formatting, and a digital media library that includes video, audio, and eBooks (but allows users to exclude content they arent interested in with ease).
I feel that crypto has the answer. Combine Proof of space with distributed media storage and you create an economic incentive to serve people what they want. X% is your unencrypted library, (1-X)% is encrypted community replication secured by Proof of space. Same distribution approach as freenet (now Hyphanet). Downloading requires credits. Uploading new media gains you credits. The higher the quality/demand of your upload, the more credits received (log scale). Add a zero knowledge recommendation service to aid discovery (and punish illegal media) et voila
We need at least one captain who does a snowball of coke every hour and walks the halls of the ship with a scotch and cigar in their mouth in their dressing gown

What even is the point of paying for Paramount+ if they're just gonna pick and choose what parts of their catalog you can access? Make it make sense

"The home of all Star Trek!"
Ad shows clips of Prodigy along with the rest
Prodigy hasn't been available on the service for years
No sense to be had here

When Ellison happened and then the conventions were cancelled due to increased licensing fees, I completed my hard disc collection.
Both methods are valid, but I figure full Star Trek deserves a place on hard disc.
