Pretty much about the game disc being installed into your own xbox one hard drive,
but then the disc no longer has a purpose afterwards. Then they stated "well what if your friends have an xbox one and just use YOUR* disc and install it into their own xbox one hard drive and pay that small fee".

They will lose money like that, wont they?

Yes and no.
This will eliminate the buy a disc for X amount and then share with 10 friends with the developers only getting the original X price. Now they can make X plus a small fee per registration.

Do people rent games anymore? Definitely much of my childhood allowance went to rentals, but since college I'm afraid I know nothing of the practice.

Gamefly is pretty successful, or was, that is the only company I see suffering from this at least with Xbox One. In my area there are no more storefronts for movies or game rentals, just those shiny red boxes.
