Yeah seriously; never understood why a certain sector of people obsess over backing up their personal media, when you can literally download a perfect copy straight from the internet with no effort on your part. Especially when it comes to widely-available media like popular Hollywood films or video games that sold well. Just grab a torrent and toss the disc.

Well, those online copy's either originate from someone sharing their backed up collection or a camera pointed at the TV.

Sure, but the point is someone’s already done it.
