There's a link in the latest cryptogram that Disney is trying out a DVD that has a coating that oxydizes after a few days rendering the DVD unplayable so that they do not have to develope an infrastructure for rental returns....or presumably ever have to sell anyone a copy of their intellectual property again. Presumably they can use that to return to the good old days when they controlled all the theaters. Except now you provide the theater.
