Yeah that “depending” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there lol.
Also big depending: At least try not to make it TOO obvious that’s what you’re doing. Most library people are cool, (Source: know library people) but it’s kinda obvious when we see someone racking up the hold shelf with like 30-40 DVDs and CDs a week. LMAO
Unfortunately the mega media interests do occasionally try to pressure libraries to enforce copyright violations or whatever. (Like telling you you can’t photocopy textbook pages or something)
I personally try to just archive things I own, primarily, or things that are special and important to me, but that’s also because I have maybe 4TB to work with and hardware is insane again.
But there’s a point when it starts to look like compulsory hoarding lol. It’s kinda an open secret/ gray area, and a few people being stupid will likely catch attention. (Look what happened to archive.org fending off broadsides from the publishing industry.)
Where I live the library card costs 5-10 € per year and they carry blu rays, video games and e books. Needless to say I’ve now renewed this card for the 15th year in a row
Also, ripping your local libraries dvd collection for personal use is called archiving and depending where you live completely legal.
Yeah I “archived” all my “dvds”
“my”
I mean, I paid to access them through Netflix, back when Netflix still sent DVDs through the mail. They were “mine” for the moment.
“Ours”, comrade.

I know its not everywhere but where i live its 100% legal and protected under fair use as long as i don’t distribute outside my household.
