Default Why make a copy of BD discs?
Why make a copy of a BD disc, or regular discs for that matter (for back up, of course). It's something I've long wondered about.

Don't BD blanks cost quite a bit? Isn't it costly to make back up copies, even if you are able to do so?

I have 1700 titles in my collection (no HD), watch a movie almost ever night, and I've never damaged one. Wouldn't it be cheaper just to "self insure", that is, if you accidentally damage one, replace it?

I don't want to start a discussion of copying, copy protection, etc. in this thread. For the purpose of my question we'll assume the copies are made in a legal manner. I'm just wondering why it would make sense to make copies. What am I missing?
