I donnow.. I'd pay for a good downloadable H264 version. I don't need physical media.
Part of the problem is copyright. The current system is so messed up that content is basically abandoned, but still not "free" (as in speech, not as in beer), preventing the general public from getting its use. This of course, is totally the opposite of the original intent of copyright law. It was *supposed* to create a *temporary* monopoly on distribution, where, after a short period, the copyright would fall into the public domain. Now, corporations are effectively immortal humans, able to hold copyright, and said copyright is extended ad infinitum.
