Thus we come to the sad end of a tale. A once robust medium where people could own content (yes the MPAA and RIAA will disagree with that statement, but at least users have some right of first sale rights) is dead.

Ever piece of content has to be fueded over by lawyers & rights holders. DVDs and Blurays exist but primarily for mainstream content & republishes of old & smaller content is rare. Netflix has attained their goal of disrupting reliable access to the form's moving pictures.
