This doesn't sound like an implied license to watch the movie. The implied
license in this case seems to happen because it would be pointless for anyone
to sell unusuable footage; so a license to use the footage is implied. It
doesn't seem relevant to the DVD cases unless the DVD companies are claiming
the DVDs can't be legally used *at all*, as opposed to claiming they can only
be used in some ways but not others.
Of course, IANAL.
