With iTunes, if it gets upgraded to 4k, you get it.

I thought when I looked at My Library in the TV app on my MacBook, and sorted by date, it showed new content (so a bundle of 10 movies, but I owned two, only had eight at the top).
This listed all 100 for me.
I definitely didn't own any of the 4k movies.
1, No risk of damages
2, Doesn't have space to hold 100s of physical media as I have 900+ movies in my itunes collection.
I'm right there with you on the physical space argument, that's why I paid several thousands to "purchase" digital versions of many things I physically owned. Decided Apple was the safest library and after some learning glitches assembled a usable library of about 1,000 movies now. Really convenient to have access to movies wherever I am on a theoretical trip away from home, and easy access without storing and digging through tons of discs.
Then I observed digital movies I paid for and "own" suddenly become unavailable, or withdrawn then replaced with a "different purchase" "Directors Cuts," or "50th Anniversary Versions" and other scams to steal away the thing I "purchased." These studios tell us they are "selling" us a dumb movie that we will "own." But after they have our money, all of a sudden they act as though the digital movie was a charitable gift they gave us and is revocable whenever some cokehead in the C suites needs a few extra bumps.
Apple is even advising people to download the digital movies (which they won't allow in 4K, nor onto an Apple TV) because of this problem. So instead of buying and storing discs, I'm buying and storing and maintaining massive hard drives for movies I "own."
Either I own it, in which case Studios agree to keep it available regardless of backend licensing changes or modified versions- OR they owe a refund for anything we "purchased" and they took. After all- the studios "wouldn't steal a car," right? If a business sells to someone else, that new business acquires the obligations of the business they got, not just the assets.
These critics know their sh!+.
But this has not happened to any concerning degree in the almost 20 years that digital movie purchasing has been a thing. I'll take my chances and like it.

Also, the studios and digital platform made a mutually beneficial business agreement. Some people buy the physical media to get the digital copy and vice versa. I can name quite a few TV series which the digital isn't for sale from VUDU or iTunes, only available from digital code included in the physical media. Studios have to reimburse VUDU or iTunes whenever someone redeem the digital code included in the physical media. That's why Warner Bros decided to hard expire the MA codes because that's pure profit in accounting. The other studios that decided not to expire the digital code has to set aside money in case the digital code gets redeemed. I was told that VUDU and iTunes pay studios some money to get their product included in the physical media, and they get reimbursed a lot more when someone redeems the code. In a way, they are banking on getting some revenue from physical media sale.
There is this guy on Reddit who purchased 14,000 movies on VUDU. I don't think he has time to watch everything. If VUDU decides to disappear, I'm sure the guy would want to sue to get his money back.
Again, I don't think VUDU or iTunes can simply disappear without transferring people's paid libraries to another platform.
Yeah, but to go as far as accepting the legacy Flixter and UltraViolet digital codes, that had nothing to do with providing stability or maintaining customers' libaries.
Again I've had "purchased" content get pulled for months at a time because the service I "purchased" the content from lost streaming rights. You aren't entitled to keep your license if the service you "purchased" it from says "screw you we're shutting down" or "we lost the rights to the content."
It's all in the terms and conditions of the service you're using.
An example of this is censoring the suicide scene in the last episode of the 1st season of "13 Reasons Why". That is a powerful scene that needs to stay in but it is being sanitized due to its suggestive content to teenagers who might watch it.
If I ever find the DVDs I would happily buy this before the scene gets removed.
Hercules 1983 still showing up in my purchase. Hell of a deal at 80 cents each after $100 Vudu gift card for $80 on raise. Amazingly I had none of the movies beforehand.
