I can't speak for anyone else, but I only use Plex for format-shifting DVDs I've purchased. While this may be a violation of the DMCA's prohibition against breaking copy protection, it is not piracy or even actionable copyright infringement.

In UK this is tortuous again, having been made specifically allowed.

Apparently people watching DVDs they've purchased somehow harms the public good. Yay, go Tories!

I knew I wasn't the only one. Once I have a disc in hand I'm going to handle it once, get it on the NAS and watch it on any device in my house without thinking about the media that it was purchased on. Throw an old laptop SSD, a raspberry pi and a USB wifi into the mix and you can stream your collection while driving across the country.

I have little kids who can't be trusted to keep physical media from being damaged. :-D
