It would seem that 13 people have so far donated their dollar.

I don't get what you guys are complaining about. I found it to be very quick and easy, and relatively cheap.

Anybody able to supply a link to these guys? I like the fact that theirs will do it in half the time and I can save a penny. I frankly doubt the claim that they will damage my DVD.

You know, the more I think about this, the more it pisses me off.

I've just dashed off a letter to the BBB and FBI internet fraud divisions.

It's all fun and games until you accept money from someone. Just because people are stupid doesn't mean it's kosher to take advantage of them.

Good lord - how anal can you get! Lighten up, it's just a joke.

Wow! Thank you internet Police man! You should hunt down those people selling sealed Xboxes out of the back of their cars that have rocks in the box too! Then maybe you can fight the good fight and stop jaywalking! YOU ARE SUCH A HERO!

Superjough - fighting internet jokes one moron at a time!

'Sides - it's not fraud. The web page delivers the service EXACTLY ad described. Pay him a dollar, put a DVD in your computer, and 60 seconds later a blinking "Finished" light goes off. You indeed get everything he details on the page, nothing more, nothing less.

And this is not a "gag". It is linked to a very real Pay Pal account that will accept your credit card payment.

Dammit 02-09-04 07:24 PM

I'm tempted to give him a buck just for the cheap laugh. I'll just go lay down until the temptation goes away.

That's most likely where the donations are coming from. Trust me, people who come across this link aren't that stupid.

Precisely!

I paid their dollar so that I could file a suit claiming that my disc was not rewound.

I'd like to see them try to prove that it was.

I'd like to see you prove that it wasn't. ;)

jough 02-09-04 09:12 PM

It's easy to prove that no physical change has occured. They'd have to prove that they actually provided their service - otherwise they've defrauded me.

Who ever said that "rewinding" requires a physical change? :hscratch:

Dont waist your money on this... Its much cheaper doing it the hard way... Just put on some clean socks, run around the room rubbing your feet on the carpet to build up a static electric charge then simply put the DVD on your little finger and rewind...???

DUH!

Why spend a dollar??? I just dont get it?

Ah, yes. The good old-fashioned static electricity trick. Works every time!

jasonnaper 02-09-04 09:23 PM

And just my opinion... jough... Why must people take everything to court? You must have a head ack most of the time?

Pay Pal me $99.99 and I will guarentee a solution to your head ack problem.

Because that's the American way. :rolleyes:

benjsimpson 02-09-04 09:44 PM

Now why wasnt this technology around when I had a large vinyl collection...all those wasted hours rewinding...not to mention the damage to the record from dragging the needle backwards over it to get it back to the start...

jough 02-09-04 09:48 PM

I was joking about suing them. However, when they take real money from people for a service they do/can not provide, that is fraud. It's highly highly illegal.

Dude... it's a joke. Are there people out there dumb enough to think it's real? Maybe. But that doesn't mean the guy was trying to do something malicious.

Tarantino 02-09-04 10:17 PM

Can I pay all at once or do I have to pay after each DVD? I'm a third of the way through my collection, but it's working great!

If you do decide to rewind your DVDs, I suggest buying a separate "DVD rewinder" so you don't wear out your DVD player's laser.
