Blu-ray disks might last from 5 to 20 years, depending on quality. You'd better start backing them up if you care about your collection.

Oh, wait... that also counts as piracy, apparently. Tough luck, I suppose. 🤷‍♂️

My 300+ discs collection is akready 10 years old. No disc has failed yet. Most modern Blue-ray discs have a lifespan of up to 150 years. You're probably thinking of writable discs that have a lower lifespan.

A digital backup of my own discs that I've purchased is not piracy in many countries. It's legal to do that for personal use. Besides, there is no moral argument against it. You already payed for your time you're going to enjoy it.

So buying one ticket to Disney world means I get to go back whenever I want right?

Do you not realize you just gave a justification for piracy?

Do you care about moral reasoning or just what is legal where you currently are?

This totally depends on the ToS of the ticket issuer. It's his right to decid that for you because he's providing the product not you. What is the point you're trying to make?

This logic is exactly what Disney is arguing gives them a right to murder your loved ones without consequences just because you once used one of their services.

The point is that it's evidently absurd, and more often than not outright monstrous.
