    If you don’t hold it, you don’t own it. Unless you take the DVD from them, you can’t remove their access to the movie stored on that disc.

      That’s completely bullshit. I can’t hold any of the thousands of videos on my NAS, yet they can’t remove access to them.

        You can’t hold your NAS? It actually weighs very slightly more with data on it.

        DVD have already polluted and currently exist and are rotting, and need to be ripped to longer term storage, especially for media that is becoming lost and needs a custodian to host so it can be pirated online. A lot of things cannot because no one has it, but it still exists in physical form.
