The copyright holder want to retain control of the material. This is the most basic aspect of business sense. If you own something, you don't let control of it slip away.

Then they should not allow sales of their DVDs and only rent them like Xerox used to do with their copiers. No sales allowed.

When you buy a DVD you do not own or share in the the ownership of copyrighted material. You merely acquire the rights to watch the DVD under limited circunstances. For instance, you cannot charge other people to watch the DVD.
