You may need to keep the physical copy for it to be legal or moral according to your own ethics but from a purely technical standpoint there is absolutely no need.
Yeah, fair, but depending on where you are you're already in illegal territory if you're circumventing DRM on the discs (e. g. Germany, I think).
(And how likely is it that I 1. get busted for pirating when not torrenting/downloading and 2. will make the copyright trolls believe me that I actually legally bought this movie at a charity shop five years ago? Has that ever hapenend?)
My technical needs are heavily dictated by legal obligations
