Edit: Thank you for all the responses!

I’ve been looking at all the home labs posted here for a while now and they’re great but one thing confuses me - do people just have HUGE DVD/Blu-ray collections or do they pirate a hell of a lot of media?

Personally I sold all my DVDs years ago and now stream anything I’m interested in watching. I do like the idea of having a home hosted streaming service such as Plex but I don’t want to do it if the answer is to pirate all the media to self-host. Is that what people do or am I missing out on something?
