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 have a story I want to share with you. It's a story of hope and the American dream.
Amway began in 1959 with two young entrepreneurs in the United States -- Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel. Their concept for an innovative business opportunity, centered around person-to-person marketing, established itself as a leader among one of today's fastest-growing industries.
Today, more than 3 million independent business owners distribute Amway products in more than 80 countries and territories. Amway generates US$5 billion (FY1999) in sales at estimated retail through this global product distribution network.
Amway has changed my life. As a good corporate citizen, Amway is the success story America needs to model other enterprises on. Because I wrote Atlas Shrugged two years after Amway was founded and before it could become the noble human endeavor it is today, I could not at the time devote three chapters to telling you about the Amway phenomenon and how it can help you.
Anyone who tells you that corporations do not embody true libertarianism just hasn't experienced the Amway success story first hand. Sign up today; it'll change your life.

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.

Why would anyone, in their right mind, buy (nevermind the fact that, under this scheme, they'd actually be renting) the shit that Hollywood is spewing out these days?!?
Just say 'boycott'...
(That said, I would be willing to pay good money to rent the latest Matrix movie... I might even go as high as 25 cents...)
