Rat bastards

  „The advantage to the disposable DVD format — known as EZ-D — is that such discs can be sold anywhere and never need to be returned, potentially turning any retailer into a competitor with video rental chains such as Blockbuster Inc.“

A Blog by any other name...

  „There is also an incentive program in which customers will receive a free EZ-D for every 6 expired EZ-Ds returned to Disney. Finally, collection points have been established in all of our markets where EZ-Ds can be dropped off for recycling. All discs deposited or returned for recycling are collected by GreenDisk, who aggregates and manages an audit trail to assure that all returned EZ-Ds are recycled.“

Disposable DVDs are Dumped

  „The manufacturer, a division of Disney, tried to position EZ-Ds as an alternate to renting. The studios, however, would love nothing more than a video scheme that offers them complete control over use. Imagine how much happier the entertainment industry would be if all CDs and DVDs self-destructed within a few days.“

Ow. My brain hurts.

  „The immediately following statement, however, is "Whatever opinion you form on them as people, or their life as a whole, is probably best kept to yourself. Remember, you are the reader. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were asking for advice or opinions." I would think that if someone, like me, has a comment link at the bottom of every post, they probably are interested in feedback of any kind.“

Sounding Circle: Disney, Send Disposable DVD Idea to the Dump

  „Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Disney's home video division, has just announced a plan to begin marketing disposable, self-destructing rental DVDs this coming August. This illogical, wasteful, environmentally-harmful plan should be halted immediately.“
