> What country are you in? It sounds unusual that you can’t sell property that you’ve bought (a DVD).

France. You can re-sell the DVD all you want, but you cannot lend them for money (because it means sharing the copyrighted material) without permission.

> As a viewer, I can view the material and don’t have restrictions on whether I can remember it or not

In m'y country you even have legal right to record it (=run it through an algorithm that “trains a model”, be it an overfitted one) for your own use, if you're an individual but not an organisation. And even for an individual, you can remember every lines of the movie, but if you make a new one with the same dialogues, then it's plagiarism.

Making something public (aka: publishing it) doesn't mean giving up all rights on it.
