Netflix Bends To Warner Bros., Won't Rent DVDs For 28 Days After They Go On Sale
I find this really interesting and almost a full reversal of what was going on in VHS. In the days of VHS rental stores would pay huge fees to get a copy of a movie about a month before it was available for sale, ever wonder why you would be charged ~$99 if you lost a video you rented.
For some reason when DVDs came out it many more people started buying movies instead of renting them. It is now obvious that the models have been reversed and the movie industry makes much more money from DVD sales then rentals, and we will now all suffer from that.
I am going to seriously reconsider my Netflix account if this trend continues.
