The ability to create copies of your library is essential to preservation. And honestly, Blu-Ray is just a great storage format.

Yes. But so is ripping the Blu-Rays you buy to a convenient video format and storing on your RAID array. I just need to hope that they don't stop selling movies on Blu-Ray. Or maybe I don't - I already have nearly every movie I care about stored, and new movies I'd care to watch again are few and far between (Oppenheimer is the only recent exception I can think of).

DVDs and Blu-Rays are already showing up in the Thrift stores, Goodwills, Salvation Army stores, etc...............
