But you didn't "buy the right to watch that movie". You bought a DVD which comes with a specific set of rights which do not include the right to watch it anywhere on any device.

What you have in some jurisdictions is a defence against copyright infringement if you make a copy for personal use. The default position still is that you only have the right to make copies as laid out in the license terms.
