I heard about this type of technology before, and that is exactly what I thought, copy it before it self destructs. No one should pay money for these disks, but they will be gradually introduced as freebies to get consumers used to the idea of the disks, then they will start charging compariably to rentals and you can get them at the local convenience store, online, at the grocery store and you don't have to return them. It will come about if consumers let their dollars go towards the products. Disney supposedly represents family values but they are one of the only companies that has put advertisments in the special no skip section of DVDs intended for the copyright notice. They also lobbied hard (and succeded) to get their Mickey Mouse copyrights from 50 years to 75 years.
If you don't like the idea of these disks they never use, accept and more importantly do not put any dollars towards it, that includes giveaways.
