We have all ways used sneaker net.
long before it was practical to download even a mp3.
people were trading audio tapes, video tapes.
Now with the ability to copy and trade anything.
you really don’t need the internet.
Blank dvd’s and cd blanks are cheap.
4 gig thumb drives are like $5.00′s just the right size for music,
Toss one to a friend and have them fill it with the latest stuff they have. Hard drives are super cheap too. I often just buy a 500gig hd. fill it with stuff I want to trade with a friend and mail it to them. He doesn’t even have broadband. Just dial up. 56k..
Try downloading anything over that.
New hard drive are so tuff they will survive being mailed with little padding.. I no longer have to ship them in a Pelican case.

So no, people like to share what they have with others.
I would rather share it than throw it away.

Netflix enabling the Sneakernet since 2000.

If you have a Netflix subscription its very easy to rip a DVD to your hard drive and send the DVD back to Netflix the next day you can also convert it to another format in a few hours or less .

You dont even need to burn a disk just stream the video from your hard disk to your devices.I use a old modded Xbox in the bedroom to store most of my compressed movies for streaming and any ones I want to keep on Disk I just burn .
