Well, something must have happened because buying a license to watch a 
home-use VHS video was about $8 or so, and a home-use DVD was about $12, 
but the license for a for-rental DVD (paid by the DVD rental shop) was 
somewhere around $80+ (per license or copy)--and, AIUI, much higher for 
some, depending on content/popularity/what the owner could get away with 
charging...
