Terminator 2 is currently $8 for a bluray on amazon. $10 for a DVD. This is reasonably a forever version.

DVD perhaps yes, until the disc degrades.
BluRay no, because your player's keys can be revoked when you pop in a new disc.

Which is the same constraint as pretty much any other physical item one might purchase. "reasonably a forever" is a reasonable description.

Wait what? How? How is that possibly legal?
Key revocation applies to releases published after the revocation date. Old media should continue playing with a compromised device key.

This was planned for DVDs too, but they failed miserably.
In any other case: use MakeMKV
Ok, how long do you have to rip & copy the content as you desire? It is still reasonably a forever version. Before you bring up laws around keys, first consider that jaywalking in front of your house is illegal too. Again, it is reasonably a forever version.
jaywalking in front of your house is illegal
In most parts of the world it’s not illegal. That’s a seriously draconian law.
Crossing the street in a residential neighborhood is legal in almost all of the world and increasingly legal in the US as well. Many major cities started with non-enforcement and some are rolling back jaywalking laws entirely.
Why even bother with all those hoops. Just download.
