Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that's ridiculous.

fucking everything connects to the internet these days dude. You fridge, you tv, hell probably even your toothbrush what the hell comment is this? "what you are driving at" is a world that no longer exists, this smart tech shit is being shoved down all our throats as we speak.
A 1080p player does not require internet connectivity but 4K/UHD discs need to phone home in order to get decryption keys on a per disc basis. There is a lot of discussion about this in the MakeMKV forums if you want to do a deeper dive.
Is that true for hardware players? I've only seen people talking about software players like Power DVD having to get keys from the Internet.
