Default Digital copy expiration

Does anyone know why digital copy's on dvd's are allowed to expire? You pay a higher price on your dvd to get them so why is there an expiration? Is it even legal? If it is then it shouldn't be.

If I need to make space on my tablet for movies or purchase a second tablet for a family member at a later time then I can't put my movie on there.

Is there anyway to get a free digital copy after expiration?

I don't understand the logic other than to make more money for the movie industry.

This sort of thing makes me want to go into the world of pirated movies.

Does there need to be more reason?
