When Funimation shut down in 2024, buyers of DVDs and Blu-ray discs that came with a Funimation digital release lost access to those copies. A fresh petition to the U.S. Copyright Office cites this as a reason for a DMCA exemption that would allow disc owners to make replacement copies for personal use. Rightsholders and other opponents of the proposal have until February to file their objections.

Jesus, why would someone go through all the trouble to try and make copying a DVD legal? No one gives a shit if you copy your DVDs, no one will ever even know. They go into detail about all the limitations and rules about handling the copy, its way over the top.
