I don't buy physical media for two reasons:

- kids destroy them

- I watch things once

Maybe there's a market for an exchange/swap service that also offers resurfacing? Shipping would have to be dirt cheap and hassle free.

It's okay to tell your kids not to touch fragile things. I promise, you won't scar them for life.

But it sounds like owning physical media isn't practical for you anyway if you just watch something once. That alone is sufficient reason, you don't need to blame the kids.
