Most of the conspiracizing was spun out of the real fact that Netflix
recommissions two-sided Warner TV-boxset disks in one-sided rental form,
to reduce the risk of confused-customer scratching by half--
Also, some rare small-company titles (eg. Anchor Bay) will recommission
special rental-only's for titles that Netflix missed the first time around.
Any other conditions of "exclusive" Netflix versions come under said
auspices of warrior-fanboy imaginations.
