Have you thought about just putting the episodes on a thumb drive instead? Most things that can play DVD/BD can play videos from a USB.

Pretty sure the last one was a bootleg copy of the original Taken movie - a friend had a digital copy and easiest way to play it on the TV was with a DVD

Woulda been while it was still in theaters, circa 2008.

Not a bad idea for small businesses - having a central place to purchase direct from retailers is a nice idea, I think where it may struggle is:

Verifying seller authenticity / avoiding scam products

• In a fully open marketplace its hard to enforce accountability. Amazon has teams of people removing fraud items (and they still have rampant fraud).
• Amazon functions as an insurer on sales - if you receive a fraudulent item, amazon eats the cost (and tries to cover it from the seller)

Part of Amazon’s market dominance and convenience is owning the logistics

• Amazon operates massive warehouses and has tons of money invested in logistics, so orders can be consolidated
• All of the savings of not paying the “Amazon tax” will just become the FedEx/UPS tax

This is not to say it can’t be done but Amazon has billions of dollars of infrastructure that’s hard to replace with volunteer programming
