Terms can specify what they want, but enforcement is another thing. I am pretty sure, you can resell movie DVDs in any country.
My wife and I use our travel trailer when the weather is nice. Most times we are in areas where there's no coverage. We don't want to pay for any kind of services that will add cost to our trip. So we use our DVDs and BRs, which I have ripped to hard disk. No commercials and works every time!

I have great nostalgia for physical media beyond the current reemergence of vinyl records. Compact cassette, minidisc, CD, reel to reel, and digital audio tape are in my hifi system. I also love blu-ray and DVD. I just bought “Mank” on Blu-ray despite being easily seen on Netflix. Obviously I’m an outlier. Yet my 26 year-old daughter has become enamored with cassette tapes and CD’s when the used car she bought had a…

I also realized that giving media as gifts is dead as well. Hardly anyone that I know uses CD/DVD/Blu-Ray players any more.
Why not use MakeMKV to remux it for them, from the fragile and DRM-infested Blu-ray into a sane .mkv on a USB drive that they can plug into the back of their TV: https://nitter.net/turtlekiosk/status/1709057325170905363
I agree with your premise but it feels like something is lost here.

It would be very interesting to hear a 26year old's comparison of compression between mp3-4, cassette (i miss my dolby expander), radio, and vinyl vs cd and also streamed audio (film or music). I once endured a shitty mp3 of AC/DC (bon version) and it made me gag. Played a vinyl version to the dude...they had no idea of what dynamic range was.
