? It's not legal to buy DVDs now?
Where did I say that? What is with you, dude?
Because it's most certainly legal to circumvent the copy protection on a DVD you own to be able to play back its contents in the US.
From what I understood of those rules passed by the LOC, that is still not the case. I think you're mistaken.

There's no such thing as DRM-free commercial video right now, so I suppose it's all a matter of how you want to play back what you buy.
I know there's not, which is why I was asking Tom what his alternative to the current services available were, because there were none that I knew of. If you count the illegal practice of ripping DVDs, then of course there's an alternative that will let you do whatever you want with your digital movie files, but I contend that that doesn't count in this conversation. I'm not going to say that I've never done it myself, but I don't have any delusions about what I'm doing, and in many cases if it's available on Netflix, it's just easier to stream it for $9-10 a month.
