> The content makers / publishers / distributors never see a cent of the secondhand DVD market

1) Japanese games publishers did want to prevent second hand sales, so your question isn't as bizarre to the rights holders.

2) They do see some of that money. I can afford to buy some new games, but only if I can sell my old games. I can only sell my old games if someone buys them.

I agree with you, though.
