Netflix is shutting down its DVD business. But some fans and enthusiasts are getting some surprise copies.
first announced in April that it planned to end its rental DVD option beginning this fall. But the company told subscribers this week that they can opt into receiving up to 10 extra DVDs chosen by the company .
But renters still have to send those DVDs back, according to Netflix, and will have until Oct. 27 to do so.that Netflix can’t sell or give away its DVDs to customers because the company originally received them through licensing agreements with filmmakers and studios, who own the property. If customers don’t return the discs by the October deadline, it will be up to Netflix to police the infraction against its terms of service, Spiller said. Telling customers they can keep the DVDs would leave Netflix open to lawsuits from studios and filmmakers, he added.It’s unclear how Netflix will approach customers who fail to return their DVDs, Spiller said, but holding onto a disc past the expiration date could, in theory, be seen as theft.
