Why 3 strips of security tape?
Why do dvd boxes have 3 strips of security tape? Wouldn't one plus the plastic wrapping be enough? You'd think they were protecting gold in the dvd case or something....especially XXX that had the red plastic you had to actually cut. What gives?

It takes longer for theives with razor blades to cut three strips and steal the disc. Therefore, there is a greater likelihood that a store owner will be able to catch a thief.

How does it deter thieves? You'd still have to cut through the shrink wrap. still the same amount of cuts with or without the 2 extra sides taped. It's kind of upsetting to me that I have to go get a ravor when I open my movies now.

It doesn't bother me all that much. I understand the reasoning behind it, so I don't complain. If having an extra bit of security tape on the case will deter thieves and keep costs down for the stores then I'm all for it.

And Saint Attila raised the DVD up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy DVD that, with it, Thou mayest watch Thine movies at home in Thy mercy.'
And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu--
And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take off the Holy Wrapper. Then, shalt thou find three stickers. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number of stickers, and the number of the stickers shall be three. Four shalt thou not be, nor either find thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the three stickers, being the third number, are found, then, carefully tearest thou thy security stickers of of the DVD, and place them in thine trach bin, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Actually, we've been market testing a new type of decorative security slipcase that you can cheaply add really cool holographics and holofoil effects to. The trick is that the end user has to really destroy the slipcase to get at the keepcase underneath. We perceive that this could lead to many people making double purchases to keep one DVD in their collection in unopened state to display the security slipcase only holo art.
We would like to test market this on the new 720p T2 Double DVD-18 release Fall 04. There is already a hologram design in mind that shows 360 deg view of the two terminators battling.
We are just waiting for Mr. Haney to return with the promised Holographic DVD Slipcase making gizmo that he sold us for $400 two weeks ago when he visited Lisa and I.

Brother Maynard, doth thou suggest using the Holy Handgrenade of Antioch on this thread?

studies have found that America produces a higher per capita percentage of lying, cheating, thieving whores and punks than is found in R2 & R4.
which may explain why i never see one security sticker on my imports (let alone three), apart from the shrinkwrap.
