That’s perfectly fine but when a monthly streaming charge is the same as a single DVD movie it’s poses a very different calculation for most households.

When you are looking to get content for children it becomes even harder and more expensive.

The library is also a great source of DVDs.

Technically illegal to rip from a library DVD and having movies in a library is very much as US thing.

Having movies in a library is definitely not a US only thing. Here in my European country, most if not all libraries carry movies on DVD and Blu-Ray, including the very latest releases. I'm pretty sure the same goes for most European countries.
