Is it wrong to pirate movies I've purchased digitally and load onto my Plex server? (lemmy.ml)

Just would like to have a discussion on the topic. I've purchased around 20ish movies/shows on Vudu, and my wife has grown to be unhappy with Vudu's UI and especially how the watch progress works. I am curious what some others thoughts on this are. My initial thoughts are I recognize I've purchased a license to watch the content, but feel that because I've purchased it I should have the right to retain total control over it and do what I please. I would like to purchase movies on physical media from now on, but wouldn't like to repurchase all the same movies and shows again when I've already paid for them

It's wrong to pay for movies so technically yes.

Would you care to elaborate? I don't really see how it would be wrong?

That was a joke.
