href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/07\/the-former-netflix-dvd-library-is-a-lost-treasure\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Tsai<\/a>) <em>note that Paste Magazine, I don\u2019t like as a publication because one of their authors or perhaps it\u2019s just their M.O., used to spam various sub-reddits every time a new post came out and that sort of spam always rubs me the wrong way:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The shrinking of the physical Netflix DVD library has been a simple enough process to observe for customers who are paying attention to their queue of upcoming deliveries. As the years have gone by, I\u2019ve watched my own queue be decimated by this process, with titles first moving from \u201cqueue\u201d to \u201csaved\u201d (essentially a request that Netflix obtain a DVD they no longer have), to then disappearing from the service entirely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019ve experienced this myself and have kept a DVD.Netflix account for a while because Netflix\u2019s streaming catalogue is the antithesis of everything movie lovers..well love. Netflix Streaming is an interactive way to see just how cutthroat and anti-creativity the film industry is. They have to make money but the fact that there\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">website devoted to things coming to<\/a>, and more importantly, leaving Netflix this week goes to show how anti-user Netflix is and how, like everyone else just have to play by movie studio rules which is pay for a license, don\u2019t overpay and then take the movie down when the rights expire and beg the movie studio to lend it back to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The author at Paste Magazine is correct. DVD.netflix followed the old movie rental model as explained so well in the film, \u201cThe Last Blockbuster\u201d in that model, the Supreme Court actually weighed in that movie rental stores were within their rights to purchase movies from anywhere (a Wal*Mart was shown in the documentary where the Blockbuster manager buys her titles) and rent them out to \u2018members\u2019 of the club. This is fully within the rights of the boxed DVD owner and not in violation of copyright law. Netflix could go out and purchase 5 copies of a very limited indie film that almost no one will see if they didn\u2019t attend a tiny film festival in Austin 8 years ago and rent that out to members. It\u2019s what made Netflix great because, while Blockbuster was limited by physical square footage of their stores and would only display titles people actually rented, Netflix could stuff those 5 indie film DVDs in a sleeve at one of their warehouses and just wait for someone to rent them costing basically nothing to store those.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2026and when the streaming wars heated up and Netflix and its competitors began fighting for the hot new movies people rented by the millions (Oscar Nominees, Brad Pitt films), streaming usually wouldn\u2019t have those films but dvd.netflix does.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Netflix as a streaming business rightfully invested in their own content as a response to the movie studios and, consumers stick with Netflix streaming because there\u2019s value in the Netflix catalogue and we\u2019ve all learned that if you want to watch the academy award best picture winner, you can just rent it from iTunes or another provider but DVD.netflix sort of was left alone by both consumers, netflix and the movie studios allowed to play in that old model pioneered by the physical stores.<\/p>\n<p>Then about 6 years ago, it started going down hill and I suffered from the same experience as the author. My queue magically got smaller. Netflix is weening us off as the bean counters every month look at \u201cdvd.netflix\u201d and wonder \u201cWhy are we spending a few million a month on postage?!?!?<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, there are Americans who still need a movie store. We have a few of these up where I live and the only way they see the Best Picture winner is to rent it from a movie store or pay $60 to load up all of the kids and visit a movie theatre. I\u2019d hate to be the founder who has to pitch Kleiner Perkins on my \u201clike DVD.Netflix but for this decade\u201d startup idea but someone has to fill this gap Netflix is leaving behind and no VC in their right mind would fund it.<\/p>\n<p>There is no where on the Internet or in physical locations that is replacing Blockbuster or dvd.netflix.com. It doesn\u2019t exist. The local movie rental place in Colebrook New Hampshire has 250 titles, mostly blockbusters not Indies and iTunes at $2.99-$4.99 a rental plus a requirement people have bandwidth is not going to work for people. We need a place that can charge $8.99 a month for all you can eat and get DVDs to your house for those who can\u2019t stream.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what the answer is because, like there\u2019s no Uber in my town or delivery or even 3G internet, there\u2019s also no movie rental place and with DVD.Netflix.com languishing and bleeding out slowly, we film buffs have three choices<\/p>\n<p>1. Purchase every movie we want to see on Amazon<\/p>\n<p>2. Rent every movie for $3-5 on iTunes<\/p>\n<p>3. Steal the movies off Bittorrent and if we like it, then purchase it and add to our collection<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a real movie buff like me, the first two options get VERY expensive. I just purchased a whole Kurosawa collection on iTunes for $120, spent another $100 on two Clint Eastwood packs and Lord of the Rings in 4K and we rented 6 movies last month. Who has $500 a month for movie budgets? Most Americans do not and those are the very same Americans who don\u2019t have access to reliable high speed internet, 4G\/5G cell connections OR a local movie store to rent films.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2026and don\u2019t get me started on streaming compression. We still use DVD.Netflix.com to rent movies with a real focus on vast open worlds and low-lit intimate scenes because the physical disk looks exponentially better than anything from any streaming company.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Via Paste Magazine (and Michael Tsai) note that Paste Magazine, I don\u2019t like as a publication because one&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2021-04-08T14:07:25Z","apple_news_api_id":"87af42ae-8dc2-4d89-a43d-80ad4a273489","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2021-04-08T14:07:26Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Ah69Cro3CTYmkPYCtSic0iQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8493","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-2cZ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4121,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2014\/07\/15\/more-examples-of-good-enough-in-our-society\/","url_meta":{"origin":8493,"position":0},"title":"More examples of &#8216;good enough&#8217; in our society","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"July 15, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"Linked, Engadget\u00a0regarding Netflix ceasing Saturday optical media deliveries: A few customers have noticed it' no longer processing shipments on Saturdays, opting for a five day schedule instead.
