How much protection does sale of Movies on optical media provide? It is still possible and indeed common for the owner of a Movie on optical media to lend their movie to a friend. The same goes for printed books. Electronic Books and Media-less Movies generally are more restrictive than owning physical media in that regard. I don't know what the law states about ownership rights. It would not surprise me if the letter of the law said that only the owner of the media was licensed to watch the media and so cannot lend it to others or watch it with others. Also while watching it alone the volume must be kept low enough so neighbours cannot overhear and it become an unauthorised public broadcast.
