They were talking about using these DVD-D's a while back.
(WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? DVD-D???? Good grief, how many letters can they string together, before it's too many?)
Hasn't anybody considered the pollutant factor in all this? Let's be honest, if all the people who normally rent movies, simply buy them and then toss them...
How much MORE tonnes per annum is that? And do we really want to 'buy' a destructing DVD? Does this idea make sense? Sure, in a world where garbage isn't a factor...
Really, what was wrong with the cable box scenario? Sure you can pir8 sattelite, but that just proves that nobody can control the uncontrollable.
Folks should really take a look at using existing distribution channels, and refrain from creating false leads that can cause more damage than good.
But then, I suppose landfill isn't a variable on a stock sheet.
Flexplay has partnered with GreenDisk and local environmental organizations to develop several closed-loop recycling options to test with consumers.Here's a quick note just in case anybody wishes to rebut me:
The above is directly quoted from their site. Consider the term, closed-loop.
This means, should you wish to recycle the disc, you in fact have to take it to a recycling depot that deals with DVD-D's. As a result, you're essentially, 'returning' the fucking disc! What nimrod, in marketing, in consumer, ANYWHERE would BUY a destructable DVD-D, so they wouldn't have to return it, AND THEN GO TO THE EFFORT OF RETURNING IT TO A RECYCLING FUCKING DEPOT!? What dipshit comes up with something like this?
I swear if somebody is turning a profit from this, then this whole world is fucked.
