How do they compete with my library that offers DVDs for free if I merely have the patience to wait till they're available to me?

That's pretty smart. Maybe I'll give that a try.

Here's a link to my public library:

Macomb Public Library

All you have to do is search for whatever DVD or CD you are looking for and if they have it, you can reserve it. For new releases you may have to wait a while before your turn comes up to take it out. But they notify you via email when it's available then all you have to do is go to the library and pick it up from the shelf that holds all the reserved books, dvd's and cd's..........

Typically the library will get the new DVD's as soon as they're released and you have to make sure you access their website as soon as possible or else you're way down the list for the DVD reservation.

What I do is reserve a DVD and when I finally get it, I bring it home and make a copy of it for my use and watch it some time in the future and take the original back to the library........
