Think the Archives have the film reels, strips, which you're free to go look at and copy whenever you want. Amazon paid to digitize them and put them on the DVDs, so Amazon gets to make the rules for the DVDs. I assume the film is still around in boxes, so event he DVD window drops someone is still free to go digitize them again, but given how fragile film is that's touch and go.
