Ask HN: Can I download Torrent of a movie legally if I own the DVD/Blueray?

I more and more often find that I pay for movies I already own, because it’s easier with streaming services. Can I legally download it as long as I already own it? That way I could make it more accessible within the house for my kids and myself. And could I take it one step further and make a service where user have to insert their DVD into external drive, then only use a couple of seconds for verification and then activate Torrent download of the same, without lengthy copy process. If that is legal take it one more step and let the user hand in their DVD for external storage, for a “physical” key (Bitcoin, Ethereum etc) as proof of ownership.
