It just seems like the current dvd model is so inefficient for a technology company like netflix to be doing it this way. There must be something I am missing and it probably has to do with licensing.
As long as there is still content on disc that isn't readily available streaming, the disc business can and should exist. It's to a large extent a different product, and possibly a different market (people with DVD/Blu players and slow internet).
There are also special features on disc which are not streaming and may never be.
