   @ovid wait - how is it different than the time I bought dvds from the video shop going out of business?

     Did you know #Netflix started a service where they would mail you a DVD and you kept it until you were satisfied, and then mailed it back?

     They're finally shutting this service down. The last customers to receive DVDS won't have to return them.

     I've a moderate amount of experience writing software for media rights models (for the BBC). This will violate some of those rights. Be interesting to see if anything comes of that.
