I'm sorry, but I have to say I couldn't get past your second paragraph. You say this not being about piracy. Then, you mention donating the ripped physical media. Whether you buy, rip, then sell/donate or borrow, rip, then return the physical media, once you no longer have the physical media, you no longer have a license to the "software" and it would be wrong to hang on to the digital copy. I don't know nor care about the legal versus non-legal copy argument, but this is just wrong.

So, instead of $10/month that I'm paying now, it'll be $16/month. I was already looking at the Amazon streaming because it was cheaper. Now that Netflix is raising prices by 60%, well, Amazon will be an even better deal.
