I skimmed over the article to see if whether or not if they’re just gonna send you another DVD or if they’re gonna do it through other means. I couldn’t find anything.

???

It's right in the quote in the article:

Where possible, the defective discs have been replaced with the same title. However, as some of the affected titles are no longer in print or the rights have expired, consumers have been offered an exchange for a title of like-value.

Consumers with affected product can contact the customer support team at whv@wbd.com.
