And I have purchased a right to watch the movie at home when I bought the DVD. How is sending that DVD to an edit company to make certain edits that I request in violation of that home viewing right?

You purchased a right to view the movie, you didn't purchase the right to alter someone else's work without their permission.

When you buy a DVD in a store, are you purchasing the DVD or are you buying a license? Your statement implies that you feel you are buying a license. If so, why doesn't it come with a license agreement?

Wow. So in the privacy of my own home, I cannot mark in a book I bought. I cannot splice a VHS tape that broke lest a millisecond of material drop out without the studio's permission. I cannot deface any IP that is not my own.

The truth is, none of that is true. For you have never heard of "fair use."
