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.

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.

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.
Oh shit forgot about the library. Definitely going check out some movies.
