The Betamax case forced the industry to consider monetizing home viewing. Even after the case the MPAA (under jack "VCR is the boston strangler") tried to get embargos against the import of the device.

They only adopted the monetization of the home viewing market once they had no choice. Surprise it generated way more money then what they were doing before.

"Access shifting" being declared fair use, would do the exact same thing.
