One Million AOL discs to be returned to AOL

nicedream writes "Two guys from California are trying to give AOL a taste of its own medicine. They're asking people to send them AOL discs, and they're going to drop them off at the company's doorstep once they collect 1 million discs. My favorite quote: "We're going to AOL and say, 'You've got mail"." seems like a better taste would be to dial out and use all 1000 free hours. A million people do *that* and I bet they'd stop filling our mailboxes with the landfill of tomorrow.

    What is stopping them from kindly taking the returned CDs and SENDING THEM BACK OUT? Are they destroying the CDs somehow?

    Funny, AOL has been sending CDs for years and the postal service has also been raising their prices for years as well...

    If you took the time to read the article you would have noticed that they score/cut the CD to prevent the media from being used again.
