However Netflix says they have limited ability to police this. I can imagine this is true because after they send out the DVD, they don't have any way of knowing what the end user *really* does with the DVD before it's returned. You are correct, both of them do.

I wouldn't be bothered at all to hear that a local video store was renting that way. It's hard enough for them to stay in business without me insisting that they own a copy of every single title that may not be a successful rental. Of course, I would just put the items in my own Netflix queue in most cases, but if you were a technophobe or if you just wanted it right away, it would work out pretty well. Good for them.
