The licensing of DVDs versus Streams seems to be out of wack. How is it that Netflix can license so many more movies to distribute through their DVD service than they are able to license to distribute through their Stream service?

Because discs aren’t licensed, they’re bought and you can do what the fuck you want with your property. There have already been multiple comments referencing this, the First Sale Doctrine.
