I think you have the whole process upside down. Digital media already has no value, and it can already be copied freely.

The changes in the law that Disney and other copyright maximalists are doing is attempting to re-value digital media. So, the only option open to them is to push for ever more draconian laws simply to protect their broken and outdated business models.
