MR> yeah but think of it this way: do you REALLY need all that stuff sitting

IMO it's not about "needing" it to sit around or developing attachments to the objects.  Even if you rip it and store it on a hard drive, if you're concerned about legally owning a copy, it's good to keep the discs that you purchased. I also consider the discs a sort of backup.  In case my ripped versions get deleted somehow, I can always re-rip them from the discs.
