How would something like that play out? I typically buy my DVDs and Blurays, but keep them in the package and download copies from the web to my Media Server.

In all these torrent suits against ip addresses and not actual people that have been discussed here, I've often wondered this but have never raised the question.
I believe the issue with bittorrent is that you are effectively distributing the content at the same time you are downloading it, so it doesn't really matter if you own a copy yourself.... you are still making it available to others to freely download.
