Not really. That’s a different media and format. (But before you say that you can technically stream it on DirectTV too, that’s owned by AT&T, who also owns HBO)
But sure, I’ll accept that Westworld wasn’t a great example for my analogy since I was only considering streaming. A better example might be Final Space Season 3. The third season never got a physical media release (any you find are homemade copies) and the entire series is unstreamable (save for s2e1 on Amazon prime for purchase…for some reason).
This is going to be a growing trend. If they ever decide to pull streaming rights for Barry s2-4 or Stranger Things S3-4, they also don’t have physical media available currently.
I agree that what you’re saying is a problem but, that still doesn’t qualify it as a monopoly. If one company owned every TV series that’s a monopoly, what you’re saying isn’t.
Isn’t it though?
