nicknicknickandnick Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 The idea doesn't deserve to succeed for so many reasons. Better yet, people should copy the DVDs as punishment for Disney.

nicknicknickandnick Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Oh -- yeah, that's a tough break for Disney alright. They'll have to put out flash animations instead -- Disney: The Badger Badger Badger Movie

Wizard Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Walt Disney Co. created a new kind of DVDs which self-destruct 48 hours after it's opening. The self-destructing EZ-D DVDs, developed by privately held Flexplay Technologies, quit playing 48 hours after they are opened as a chemical reacts with air, obscuring the tracks on the disc so a laser cannot read them. It's a good thing for video club, since they won't have to bother about customers bringing back videos anymore. The only bad point of this is the waste of discs it will create, but Disney sayd it had a recycling program. So far, this DVD is only available in Florida, but the trial will be expanded to Phoenix, Arizona, San Antonio, Texas, and Denver, Colorado, in April and May. Imagine having a DVD explode in your Hands.....You could sue Walt Disney Co. for millions Then Give The Dvd's To Military Or Commandos They Dont Need Any Bombs. Ha! They'll be like ninjas with CD shurikens. "Take this AOL disk!" *SHING!* Bahaha, dude thats so great. This idea for DVD weaponary is much better then my AOL CD Launcher and AOL CD Table(i need several hundred more )
Gryph Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 You spelled my name wrong in your sig. But I'm flattered.
random guy Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Actually, there are a handful of EZ DVDs out for sale. I even saw 25th Hour at Half.com being sold (It was an EZ). 48 hrs? That gives enough time to copy it... Anon.Exactly... Did anyone else notice that this thread and the one about the attack on the file-sharing community appeared at about the same time? it looks like big business is really going all out to combat piracy. Oh well, my prediction is that it will cost them a pretty penny, and the idea will flop so badly it will not be heard of six months from now, so its not such a bad thing after all.
ForceX Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) I'm gonna laugh at the idiot companies wasting their money on such a stupid idea when it backfires in their face...... Edited March 18, 2004 by ForceX
Weirdy Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I'm gonna laugh at the idiot companies wasting their money on such a stupid idea when it backfires in their face...... literally
ForceX Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 I bet you that the companies supporting this technology will just make an excuse and blame the manufacturer of the discs
Ghosty Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Great Now There's Another Reason Most People Dislikes Disney. And Just Like What AntiWinner22 Said 48 Hours Is More That Enough To Copy It But Now Your Wasting Your Disk On Disney Those Bastards.
Shibathedog Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 It doesnt explode, the chemicals screw themselves up making the DVD uselss what a waste of DVDs.... 48 hours is enough to rip/burn a copy
Jiggs Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 No owner of a rental chain/store in their right mind would ever endorse this. Why? Because of the late fees. That's serious cash, and they'd have to be retarded and crazy on acid to even consider cutting out late fees. I'll laugh when a the owners of some of these companies lose their shirts in the effort to combat piracy. As my DC description says, "The Traffic Never Stops."
Gryph Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 It doesnt explode, the chemicals screw themselves up making the DVD uselssWell no crap sherlock. I think we all knew it doesn't actually explode. But yeah, late fees are a huge source of cash for rental places. And since DVDs are the latest medium, there isn't that Not Rewound fee so they have to make it up somehow. But I make sure I'm never late in returning my rentals so they don't jip me of my money.
Jiggs Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 None of the video stores around here had a no rewind fee. They just had a sign that asked everyone to please rewind the videos when they were done.
