There's a lot that I don't want to see more than once...and Netflix is great for that. There's a lot that I do watch at least several times (spaced out over years, often). If I see something being sold for an amount I'm interested in paying, it at least means that I don't have to track down how to watch it next time that I want to.

I cannot think of that either. That is basically why I stopped caring about it, for good or for bad. I was a soapbox standing, card carrying anti DRM but it is not an annoyance anymore so I backed off. I cannot stand DRM or whatever it is called on chips for OSs though...
Sure I dont represent every consumer, but I think this is why netflix is successful: not overselling the customer. You get to use the content and put it back. I know how Titanic ends, I dont need to see it over and over again. I get no utility from that. Some flicks might have fanatics that want to "own" it (whatever that means), but most dont.
