If only there were some way to download anything you wanted even if it was never released on DVD or Blu-ray and isn't on streaming anymore....
If you're trying to move some readers to start doing that, you'll probably need to engage with their reasons.
Still need a VHS to watch Star Wars
In a similar vein, once you pirate something you also own it forever. Netflix is never gonna delete Bojack Horseman off my hard drive.
That sounds like the onset of a Cory Doctorow story. Armed autonomous Netflix' bots bearing down on your residence to physically delete your Bojack Horseman copies — all legalities taken care of by the newly amended copyright protection laws.

I damn sure don't want to go to the hassle of downloading a VHS transfer

You say 'never' but I see the capacity for companies to remotely delete things on users drives that feel like may be in copyright violation as a foregone conclusion at this point. It is an inevitability. Since both TVs and computers are usually internet enabled, you'd have to super careful to never expose that drive to the net. I mean who is going to stop them? Lawmakers? chuckle-snort. The supreme court? giggle.
My understanding was there's a risk of disc degradation, is this a concern? How do you "back up" a CD/DVD?
