So it seems there's these DVD vending machines around everywhere now. Outside of McDonald's, Wal-Greens, the local supermarket these big
Redbox vending machines await you to rent a movie for a dollar. I googled around and found
some codes to get free movie rentals from Redbox. Free sounds like the right price to me so I rented a couple. Looking at the DVD, there is a sticker they put right around the hole in the centre. The sticker has some numbers printed on it and two 2D barcodes. Aha, so that's how they can tell when you go to return the DVD that you didn't stick Spin Doctor's Kryptonite CD in there instead of the movie. So what's to stop me from putting the sticker on another DVD? It's stuck on pretty damn good, and it looks like I'm ripping it rather than getting it off smoothly. I suppose I could steam it off with moderately better success but I think the best course of action would be to photocopy it onto some label paper or regular paper and tape it on. Now the thing, whether you get the movie for free for the night or not, requires you to swipe your credit or debit card and it puts a $1 authorization on it. After doing my Christmas shopping, half the things I got rebates for come to you as these stupid prepaid Visa gift cards. So I can use up the bulk of it filling my tank full of gas and strategically leave $1 on the card. Now I can use that to get movies anonymously so when they find out their Redbox has been stuffed full of DVD's they weren't expecting they won't be able to come find me.
Here's where I need your help. I can rent a boatload of popular new release movies that I know other people will rent in short order and replace them with DVD's of my own creation and expect random unsuspecting movie renters will end up getting it and watching it. What should I burn for them to see? Hello.jpg comes to mind, along with the contents of a PLA media CD. What would you guys suggest?
