You are free to crack the polycarbonate disk, you are free to burn the pressed wood pulp and binding, you are free to delete the .epub file.
But you BOUGHT only a restricted license to content in all cases, because the intellectual property isn ever yours in all those cases. Only the details of the restrictions differ.
Now, if you'll just admit I'm right about something, I can stop arguing with you too.  |
But in the case of the DVD you're free to hand it to someone else, or sell it, for example. It's still property and they are not allowed to tell you you cannot give it away or sell it, or not play it on a Linux computer, or whatever.
Technically you should also be free to rip the digital video off of it but we can thank the DMCA for stopping that.
