Truth.
Or rent or buy for some rather large sum. No thanks.
You don't want to rent a 38 year old movie for 9.99? But it takes so much effort for them to lend it to you!
Right? FFS just make old movies $1.99 or something.
For some movies it's literally cheaper to buy a physical copy online and get it shipped to you, than buying a short license on a random platform.
Or in the bargain bin at places like BestBuy.
Torrents are becoming an internet archive of sorts, so long as the sharing/seeders of the old files don’t go offline or delete the files.
