I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.

Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.

I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?

Tell me your thoughts!

    Buy stuff to support the creators, but always have a seperate personal storage/library, don’t use services.

    There’s recently been some drama on twitter, where media providers have changed the parts of some movies. Movies that were in the libraries of those who purchased them. They replaced them with a different version.

    You never acutally own the media copy if you depend on an external service.
