And thanks to Netflix and Blockbuster Online, many people simply put
movies they want to see in their queue, and copy the discs when they get
them. Few people who have the capability to do that are going to spent
$15 to $30 on a new DVD when they can copy it for the cost of a
membership to one of those services and blank DVD media.
