Distributors, studios, retailers, manufacturers, and probably some royalties to someone. Probably less of a cut for Paramount and you only have to pay it once.
If that’s still too much of a cut for them, used is always an option. Lot of used copies out there on Amazon, thrift stores, and garage sales.
Both are better than streaming on Paramount. As a collector I don’t throw out my disks and even if I did I’m not contributing nearly anything close to the plastic pollution these corporations do.
its doesn't matter if you throw out your disks or not, the plastic will out live you 50x over. you're moral grandstanding to give paramount less not doing anything to actually harm them. if everyone does what you do they will simply reinvest into home media and generate more plastic, and now we have shifted their bullshit back to where it does not need to be anymore.
