1. You absolutely may not purchase DVDs and rent them for viewing to others without a license from the copyright owner.
2. The purchasers can also also be liable. Ever heard of Napster's faux pas?
3. Copyright law is country-specific, but certain rights are constant in most of the free world by virtue of international treaties.
4. Don't do it or get serious and hire some attorneys to help.
