If they just care about one title, why don't they buy just that title?

When you can buy a movie for $20 that's not bad.

When you're watching a season of a newish show, that's often closer to $100. A tv show with 5 disks often likes to pretend it's worth 5 movies. Also the latest content is often not available on disk until well after it's "aired"

  1. Own physical media
  2. Swap and trade with others
  3. Profit

Jokes aside the first two for sure - but yeah, they could also just sail the high seas and it would be a similar outcome.
