Yeah, that's a big reason that I wanted to (hypothetically speaking) rip all my blu-rays and DVDs. Rip them while they're still good, and store them on a RAID hard drive cluster with proper error correction, and I think that as long as I'm a little vigilant with scrubbing and replacing drives when they fail, it should last quite awhile.
