Anyone else out there noticing that newer tv series shows on physical bluray discs are pre-encoded already to h264, and the quality is bad? Most bluray movies and older (pre-2024) bluray tv shows on discs were in the raw mpeg2video codecs and had the highest quality. I don't mind paying for my physical bluray media but if this is what the RIAA has in store for us then I'm out.

At University, the #RIAA placed a full-page ad in our student newspaper to the effect of "WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE, PIRATES. Lawsuits are coming."
As a joke, I pinned it to the door of my dormitory, along with a brief manifesto, and a final line,
"I'll be away for a bit for the lawsuits."
I then bussed home for the weekend.
My new friends were worried it was real (fair).
