I've set up my own media server (using Plex Media Server) on a dedicated PC, and I like to rip my media and put it on there.  I can then stream it from my media server any time, and not worry about it being removed.  I've been using Plex Media Server for about 8 or 9 years now, and I like it.  It can even stream your stuff outside your home, so if you're traveling, you can bring a streaming device and plug it into a hotel TV and watch your stuff there, which is cool.
