Yeah if you have movies on iTunes or whatever, you only have a subscription to watch those movies during the term of your subscription, nothing more. You don’t own the movies. If that service goes away, you lose access.
The only way around this really is to rip the movies from Blu-ray/DVD onto your hard drive. About 10 years ago I went about doing this. Seemed like a good idea at the time, although a big pain in the ass. Of course I never really used them much and defaulted to just watching / buying on iTunes / Netflix or whatever. Think of it this way - most movies are pretty fungible anyway. You will watch them a few times and never again in reality. If you “buy” on iTunes that probably covers you for a few times you will watch it in your lifetime. Ripping to hard drive is simply not worth the trouble and you would have had to buy the Blu-rays or DVDs anyway.
