One good thing is if someone finds a cheap way to stop the destruction you can just stop it then keep the DVD forever since they don't expect it back ;o).

Disney is getting Senile, no doubt. I have completely no idea how this would work out.
How would a disc be considered 'rented' if the store renting it out is never going to get it back??
This is plain dumb and near the end, they say that the DVD can still be manipulated (burnt, copied) during the first 48 hours, so what's the use of this??

SO that people will rent more but never return the discs?? I would stick to using disney's finance for researching on better alternatives then to waste a whole lot of DVDs with funny chemicals on it and have a truckload of blacked out DVDs in the trash. Shows us how wasteful and spoilt Disney is with their capital, wasting DVDs like that. MIckey Mouse is not gonna save you on this one Disney!!

yeh......and an even bigger hole in the ozone layer no doubt when they dispose of these discs!!!
Nice one Disney, thats very ecologically sound of you!!!
Who the f@#ks gonna hire a disc thats gonna cost more money and knacker after a while......it`s like shopping for frozen food, we`ll have to rush home before it melts.

Oh well who cares. Just make a copy of the dvd and you dont need to be worried about it. Or put one of the plastic coats that are meant to protect your cd from scratches on it. It will stop any oxygen getting in. If you dont wanna do either just use kazaa;-) BTW i dont think the enviromentalists will allow this. Oh if someone finds a way around it then....we will start having dvds for around £3 which is what they really should be priced at.
