The plan for the original DIVX (nothing to do with the CODEC of the same name) was that this would happen. The discs would be heavily encrypted, and rights protected. The customer would then "buy" the right to watch them for a certain period of time. It didn't take off, and Circuit City eventually closed the DIVX project.
