    People only liked Blockbusters business model because there were no other options. Redbox came on the scene and decimated the company and they were even sued to get the distribution model changed so that they had to wait a month before they could rent new movies out. Now both companies are relics of the past since streaming became mainstream.

      I guess that’s fair, and I had forgot going to a friends to watch their rentals together.

      At least I definitely did not rip rented dvds to my hard drive.
