Idk man.. I feel like if I pay ~$40 for a digital item.. I should have the same rights with it as the physical copy.
If a digital market place sells me the item... I should be able to return to that market place and redownload it.
Basically once they sell it.. they are obligated to host the files.
Or as an alternative ... I get 1 download of a drm free product. And everything after that is rebuy.
This sell it for $40 and then it's gone off your game system or out of your account I think is shit business practice.
Streaming services can do what they want with their content.. because you're paying x money a month to access it.. that's the assumed behavior.
Digital products advertised as "buy it on digital" should behave as items purchased and owned by the end user.
This saying / idea sprang out of folks losing content they "bought" via online platforms.
Basically the letter from Sony(?) Said that due to licensing rights content was going to be removed from their servers.. and that the items you bought were no longer available.
So.. essentially nothing on a digital platform is ever purchased . It's just leased until the platform owners decide to alter the deal.
And such, if you can't actually buy it... Are you actually pirating it?
I don't have any input on your download direction... But I wanted to share some drive links.
Folks on datahoarder love these drives..

The version I have looks and sounds so much better than the blurays I have...
Tho like you said better audio, widescreen and I'm fairly certain it's been ai upscaled as well.
I'd have to go back and look but my physical disks don't hold a candle..
