Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon

BrianH writes "Looks like a close cousin of everybody's favorite self-destructing video format is making a comeback. Four years after Circuit City and its Hollywood backers pulled the plug on the self-expiring DVD concept, FlexPlay Technologies has introduced the EZ-D...a 48-hour self-expiring DVD disk. The difference? This time around you don't need a special player, and "time extensions" are no longer an option. It looks like Buena Vista has already signed on to the format, so Disney, Mirimax, and all of their other companies should be using this soon. As if that wasn't bad enough, it looks like this works for music and software disks too!" Here's an older story on these technologies.

I submitted this story hours earlier than the one that got posted and it got rejected, just like every other thing I've ever posted. No reason of course. Do I have to subscribe to get something posted? Like THAT's ever gonna happen. Bite me /. editors. Really. For that matter 98% of /. readers can bite me, too. Always moaning about how evil MS is and how great you are because you take the so-called high road of Linux. Read up on Darwinism. MS will be around long after most of the Linux startups. Mark
