219 reels? Presumably 219 shots averaging 24 seconds each?
Since I already own the original VHS release I should be entitled to a
free copy to replace it, besides which no modern computer is capably of playing 4K Blu-Rays and they haven't been able to do that for the past decade, so I have the right to a 4K digital download instead. Where is
my link BBC?

My computer is capable of playing 4K Blu-Rays and it is only three
years old. Is it just you are too cheap to spend $100 USD for a
quality external optical drive? Weather the drive is internal or
external is not relevant, drives are available...and I can play said
media on my computer.
As for what you think you are entitled to, put that belief in one hand,
a pile of shit in the other hand, and see which hand fills up first.

Hey, Aggy, I'm guessing that, like the rest of the posters here-abouts, you've brought a car sometime in the past.
Do you expect those manufactures/retailers to supply you with a new car every year?? Three years?? Five years?? Ten years??

They do that if you lease the car instead of buying it, but it is a hideously expensive way of having a car. You can also do similar plans
for mobile phones, computers, etc.ÿÿ :-)

But do we believe Aggy will have leased his gear?? Me! No way!!
Well, he is silly enough to do things the stupid way, so him expensively leasing a car wouldn't be that much of a surprise.ÿ :-)

I got an external DVD-burner for my computer a few years ago. I didn't bother with Blu-ray at that time because they were a lot more expensive
and I didn't have any Blu-ray disks to play anyway.
