Terminator 2 is currently $8 for a bluray on amazon. $10 for a DVD. This is reasonably a forever version.

DVD perhaps yes, until the disc degrades.

BluRay no, because your player's keys can be revoked when you pop in a new disc.

Wait what? How? How is that possibly legal?

Key revocation applies to releases published after the revocation date. Old media should continue playing with a compromised device key.

This was planned for DVDs too, but they failed miserably.

In any other case: use MakeMKV

Ok, how long do you have to rip & copy the content as you desire? It is still reasonably a forever version. Before you bring up laws around keys, first consider that jaywalking in front of your house is illegal too. Again, it is reasonably a forever version.

jaywalking in front of your house is illegal

In most parts of the world it’s not illegal. That’s a seriously draconian law.

Crossing the street in a residential neighborhood is legal in almost all of the world and increasingly legal in the US as well. Many major cities started with non-enforcement and some are rolling back jaywalking laws entirely.

Why even bother with all those hoops. Just download.

Oh, I was adding a pertinent point of discussion in a discussion board. It is fun. I suggest you try it.

Snarky shit aside...

Why should I pay to be treated as a criminal, when pirating is better in every way and costs nothing?

There is no option of "Pay for digital copy of show that permits format/time shifting and backup for as long as I want, with no DRM". Like GOG. Doesn't exist in the pay realm.

It seems like you're just adding more and more qualifiers until you can finally justify piracy to yourself. You can reasonably do what you want if you buy the disc. There's a good chance that's how the people you're downloading from did it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
