naveNetflix is going to let DVD subscribers keep unreturned discs for free
ursaUltra“Generous offer?” Holy fucking spin zone. Every disc they let a customer keep is just a disc they don’t have to worry about disposing off. Just happens to be a modest bonus for their subscribers.
There is lots of content that isn’t licensed for streaming, and is out-of-print on DVD. Its entirely possible that Netflix DVD rental may be the ONLY place to get certain titles. Depending on what you had out, this may be quite a boon for those that have rare titles in hand.
Something like the Blu Ray of Kevin Smith’s 1999 movie “Dogma” could cost you $175 to buy

…but why?
Weinstein.
GatsbyYep it sucks because I think it’s Kevin Smith’s best work but I do respect him for refusing to buy the rights back or arrange for a deal for streaming rights because it would be giving Bob and Harvey Weinstein money.
For anyone unaware, the film had a complicated release because there was a lot of controversy surrounding Dogma, particularly from the Catholic League, who were pissy about being made fun of. So Disney, who owned Miramax at the time, allowed Bob and Harvey Weinstein to buy the movie themselves. So they personally own Dogma.
Going to safeguard my DVD copy and pass it down to my kid. It’s a great movie. I’m in agreement with you.
