Wow. This is why owning DVDs is better. And if you can't buy, download via torrents. Imagine these bastards rolling up to your home and reclaiming a movie you physically purchased. We gave them too much power. Time to withdraw it. Convenience is not worth this shit. Get uncomfortable and get your entertainment away from these streamers who don't give customers what they paid for.
DVD rental stores could surely make a comeback given these new developments. Libraries still loan movies as well. Remember, Barnes & Noble didn't run all independent bookstores out of business. And after Amazon savaged Barnes & Noble, Amazon Books suddenly came into existence (2015 - 2022). Greed driven corporations aren't the answer.
Dvd is not better. I hate it when I pay for the content and I'm still forced to see ads for something I purchased. You might own the media, but there are other downsides as well. They actually both suck!
You mean like a DVD movie has a trailer on it for the movie itself? Not sure what you're saying here.
This. Trailers are ads for other movies. Some DVDs had unskippable trailers.
