How would one theoretically go about helping Disney create multiple dislocated backups of their best movies and tv shows in case their server breaks and we lose Pocahontas 2 forever?

Whenever you see a copy of Hocus Pocus in a thrift shop pick it up

I've been grabbing thrift store dvds and ripping them for the past few months. Cancelled Netflix recently and I don't miss it. I can't believe some of the things I've found, too. I live in a small town and I found the entire 90s Sailor Moon English dub on dvd at my local thrift store.
