So, the leaving US big tech thing has been going smoothly.
There's one set of things though that I'm having trouble replacing: purchasing movies.
I really don't want to rely on physical media again but the options are poor. #Amazon, #Google and #Apple seem to rule the roost.
I looked at #Ratuken, but their catalogue of older films is non-existent.
Does anyone have any ideas here for being able to buy digital movies in the UK?
