  Well, the first time you rent it, it's much cheaper, so it's obvious.

  The second time you rent it, it's still cheaper, regardless of how much
the rent fee actually is. You have *already* speng the first rent free.
You can't get it back. If you were to now buy the movies it would cost
you the price of the movies plus the one rent fee. Two rent fees is cheaper
than that.

  Follow the same pattern ad infinitum.

  Of course the amount of money spent in renting fees quickly become
larger than the price of buying the movies, but you would have had to
known this before you rented it.

  It would have, of course, been cheaper to buy the movies the first
time, but how would have I known?-)
