I was surprised by this;

As a result, I’ve gone looking for archival copies of Midnight Mass (and some other work) for myself. And that led me to some “bootleg” blu-rays created by people who operate through - uh - other means.

The result is that I now have three copies of Midnight Mass on blu-ray in my collection. The quality is excellent. The people who created these even went through the trouble to make animated menus and cover art - and I have to say they’re quite good. I found these online, it wasn’t difficult, and it wasn’t expensive. I’m told the quality of torrent sites is pretty great. And honestly, at this point, given Netflix’s position on the matter… I’m very glad they exist.

You'd think he would have the access to burn his own copies if his work but apparently not - possibly it's too big a security risk to leave physical copies knocking around.
