I'm sure they would stop this if they had the ability. I've seen complaints from the game, movie, music, and publishing industries. They hate the fact that physical copies can be traded/resold without anyone being required to pay them again.

Part of the firestorm against the Xbox One revolved around plans for new DRM on console discs. Allow publishers to put a tollbooth on the used game highway.
