Interesting thread. I have physical media stored away for all my computer served music. The only discs I spin are SACD, vinyl, and DVD/Blu-Ray.
Content providers as represented by the RIAA and DMCA do not believe the fair use doctine applies to anything they produce, and take every opportunity to expand on that position. Tom

DVD and Blu-Ray
Somebody asked about DVD's.
With DVD's and Blu-Ray, it's Catch 22 in the US. It's murky. The sale and use of DVD copy protection circumvention is clearly illegal in the US. Real Networks lost the legal CSS license Case. The Kaledescape case is still in court and has not been fully resolved. These are the good guys in my opinion. The DMCA makes it illegal to manufacture or distribute tools that circumvent copy protection. So in order to create a backup of a copy protected work, one would need to use an illegal tool. While it may well be fair use for you to store a backup copy of a personally owned DVD on your own computer, a federal law has nonetheless made it illegal to manufacture or traffic in the tool you need to make such copies. That is the 'Catch-22'. So, bizarre as it seems, there is today in the US no legal way to watch a DVD that I own on my iPad, since I am not aware of a legal tool to make the transfer.
