Sure, but the former basically doesn’t exist which is why it’s an oxymoron.

It does exist. I have several cds and dvds myself. It’s being phased out though, for internet based drm. Which I admit is not that great

That’s not the digital being talked about. Though, you’re technically correct. That’s why I’ve got bookshelves of DVDs and Blu-Rays. But, they also have DRM in various forms. Only difference is you “own” it. Pretty sure decrypting the contents to copy it is technically illegal. Sure, they can’t take that copy away, but it doesn’t last forever either. I’ve already had a few DVDs crap out on me.
