I realize other people have already remarked on this I just wanted to
add my 2 cents.
When you buy a DVD you DO own the copy of the movie stored on that
disk along with the disk itself.
The things that restrict your use of that movie are Copywrite and the DMCA.
I've never seen or heard of a license, "shrinkwrap" or otherwise, on a DVD.
Of course, I'm not a lawyer so what do I know?
