I've been putting off having a local copy of the series and movies I watch because I still can access them quickly and cheaply enough in some streaming service, I think it's time to plan ramping up my selfhosted setup.

I remember in the zeroes everybody knew a guy who sold burned dvd's. At first they came as a bare dvd in an envelop, but eventually they came in an actual dvd case with a copy of the original sleeve as welll. Some guys would even sell from a stand in public markets.

I could see these guys sell local hosted streaming services to their neighbours, friends and anyone else through word of mouth.
