Is it legal for me to rent out for profit my own DVDs that i bought at full price?

Copyrights provide the owner of a copyright with a package of rights that are separate from ownership of the actual work. For example, one of the rights provide by a copyright is a performance right which a person does not acquire simply by purchasing a book or movie. Thus, if you were to buy a DVD containing movie, you could not use it to show the movie people and charge them a fee to watch the movie without a license from the copyright owner. In a like manner, simply buying several children''s DVDs would not give you the right to rent them out for a monthly subscription charge with a license from the owner of the copyright for the works on the DVDs.
