For me personally, I share this with several other people. So my wife can stream movies or TV that we own from anywhere. We can share the same audiobooks like as if it were audible but I only need to own one copy. Things like that it's really a convenience thing. That and digital backups of my failing DVDs is a bit of comfort
Aha, yeah, sharing with people at home is an attraction and it's good to not have to rely on your home internet being up for that. DVD backups though (unless they're being shared too) seems like they can be handled either with client storage or remote servers. You want off-premises copies of your backups anyway.
