The OP posed the argument that DVDs (by context, commercial disc content) are/is obsolete - that is clearly not the case.
And for what it's worth, I'll watch the items from my collection whenever the heck I want, no matter what licensing, restricted distribution or re-editing (a la George Lucas) ensues in online versions. They'll be junk when *
I* say they are and not a moment before - that's a large part of the point of having a collection - to not be beholden to the vagaries of some distant curator or shifting commercial pressures.
