"Netflix's DVD Service Ends with a Bang: 10 Free Discs for Subscribers"
TL;DR Summary
Netflix is ending its DVD-by-mail service and to mark the occasion, the company will send some subscribers up to 10 extra DVDs before shutting down the service. However, customers cannot keep the DVDs and must return them by October 27th. Netflix received the DVDs through licensing agreements with filmmakers and studios, so giving them away or selling them would violate those agreements. It is unclear what Netflix plans to do with the returned DVDs after the service shuts down. The DVD-by-mail service accounts for less than 1% of Netflix's revenue.
