        Better stick my box of DVDs in the cupboard with the boxes of VHS tapes,cassette tapes,reel tapes,wax cylinders and nose flutes. Pity we couldn't copy DVDs with all that encryption on them 😉.

        Blu-ray players can play dvds. Dvd and Blu-ray encryption was cracked years ago; 4k uhd discs have recently been cracked

        And...? Just buy a blu-ray player. In fact, if you have a PS4 or Xbox One, you already have one! Not only do blu-ray players play DVDs but they quite surprisingly play blu-rays too, an infinitely superior format.

        That'll be a new "slagging Netflix" article idea for them. Make sure you get credit.

        Cut back by 33%, because of a 16% decrease. Strange maths.
