Anyone who thinks physical media on disc is a good way to preserve a work in perpetuity has never heard of disc rot.

Rip it, store it digitally, make periodic backups. Or obtain the IMAX film reel and keep it hermetically sealed for decades.

But don't you know. They put a do not copy sticker on the disc. That means that you super Dooper can't copy this disc or you'll be in trouble.

They also put "warranty void if removed" stickers on everything, yet can't legally void your warranty if you remove the sticker and open a device.
