IMO it's not about "needing" it to sit around or developing attachments to the o
bjects. Even if you rip it and store it on a hard drive, if you're concerned ab
out legally owning a copy, it's good to keep the discs that you purchased. I als
o consider the discs a sort of backup. In case my ripped versions get deleted s
omehow, I can always re-rip them from the discs.
