English term or phrase: To own basis

I'm translating a text related to various ways to watch films on the internet. One of the sentences reads: "some buy a film on a to own basis".

Have you an idea of what it means,

"Others rent films on per event basis.
Esta segunda la tengo más clara. Alquilan por evento, por película, etc, ¿pero la primera? Gracias.

que pasa a ser de su propiedad

Explanation:
Es cuestión de encontrar la forma de decirlo sin que suene excesivamente redundante. "Algunos compran una película, que pasa a ser de su propiedad"

Te sugiero que ignores la segunda parte de la frase. "Algunos compran la película". El inglés es tan malo que tiene mal arreglo :-))

to own basis para quedársela / para conservarla (como propia)

Explanation:
Algunas opciones, aunque me resulta un poco redundante decir que alguien "buys something to own it". Otra alternativa es que la idea se relacione con el concepto de "rent to own", es decir, alquiler con opción a compra.
