That is no longer always possible, some movies just don't release on DVD or Blu-Ray anymore or it takes a very long time after release before they appear as Blu-Ray (as to not take profit from streaming services)

I don't see how that justifies torrenting it but most new movies are available within a few months on DVD/Blu-ray.

(Obviously there are exceptions for things made by streaming companies but even those get physical releases eventually.

There is plenty of movies that are not available to me. They're not available for streaming or as bluray, and in some cases cannot be imported legally either.
