Even when buying physical copies, BD movies have at least one, sometimes two layers of DRM to put up with; AACS and sometimes BD+ on top of that, and even DVDs technically have DRM although that was blown wide open eons ago.
Also, although CDs are DRM-free, for now, there's a 9/10 chance that if you get a new CD album instead of a lossy download through iTunes/Apple Music or wherever or streaming it through Spotify, that it'll be brickwalled to hell; blame Oasis on that one for starting the Loudness Wars, meanwhile if you go to track down an old vinyl album or even a CD pre-1995 or so, it'll likely have been mastered decently; a lot of the time an old vinyl album is mastered better than a new CD album, both because of predating the Loudness Wars by decades typically, and also because a mastering house will have had a 20Hz-20kHz window to work in with vinyl generally.
