$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

      It’s not even grey - in the US it is illegal under the DMCA.

      I’m not up to date on ripping tools, though.

        I know that in the EU, if you buy a video game and it runs poorly or not at all because of the DRM put in place by the publisher, you are allowed to use a crack. Dunno if it’s the same for a movie tho.

          The DMCA supersedes that - it’s still a crime to bypass copy protection mechanisms, and there are very few exceptions to that rule.
