DVD Rentals Knowledge Base
DVD rentals? I work in a residential college where we have a shop open to students only, there has been comments from them and staff that they would like the shop to provide DVD rental, does anyone have any idea where i start with this, i have tried searching on the internet and get very little information. I need to know about the law and the rules and regulations involved with the rental business. It will only be to our students and not the public, but i am aware that i need to meet all regulations to do with copyright and playing illegal DVDs

Are DVD rentals and sales down due to the boom of online technology? Look at Tower Records - they totally went out of business because CD's are ALMOST completely obsolete - if not obsolete, then enough to warrant a business shutting down because of MP3 availability and technology in its prime, whereby hardly anyone buys CD's anymore. I'm wondering if within the next few years, DVD's of any kind - HD or BluRay, whatever, will slip as well due to everyone wanting to download instead of buying the tangible product.
What is the copyright law regarding DVD rentals...? Basically in college we have come up with a business idea to rent our classes dvd's to other students, but the problem is that some of the dvd's that we own have got "This dvd is not for rental" on the disc and on the case. So would this be breaking any copyright law? if so is their any way of working around it. if anyone knows anything then i'll really appreciate it thx.
On-line dvd rentals, do you try to watch and return your movies and soon as possible to get your money's worth I gave someone a gift subscription to an on-line dvd rental for 2 months, and he must have called the place complaining every single day if things did not go perfectly, then he would put everything off until he watched each movie as they came in so he could return them as fast as possible. As for returning, he made his girlfriend go out of her way to mail the dvd's near her work because he thought they would get there faster. Is this normal behavior?

Amazon DVD rentals renting box sets? I recently put wire in the blood series 3 on my dvd rental list for amazon. It displayed as two discs on the list but when the first was sent 2 discs arrived in a special double cardboard case in the usual envelope. I wondered what was going on but it turned out they sent both dvds when they said just the first had gone out and I only ended up using one rental for 2 discs. Was this just luck or does this usually happen with amazon rentals when renting boxsets because if so then it would definitly be worth doing again.

netflix question about dvd rentals? ok my friend told me about netflix and how cool it is but one thing that he told me is that when he gets his rentals he does this and quote "MCE refuses to play DVD's on a HDTV in 1080i mode, because of the stupid Macrovision protection. So I rip them, rip the useless stuff out of it, watch the movie, and delete them" so in fact my friend has no choice but to rip them and im concerned because to myself im thinking wont he get in trouble for that and is THERE A WAY FOR NETFLIX TO KNOW THAT HE IS RIPPING THEM OF. and another thing he is not using it for monetary gain. ALSO I FOUND THIS ON THE INTERNET quote "I know it cannot be legal to copy rented DVD's but I cannot find any clear cut info on this on the internet. Can you point me in the right direction? I know a lady who makes copies of close to 30-40 movies a month rented through Netflix and Blockbuster and she claims this is legal because she pays 18 bucks a month per service and she isn't selling them so it is fair use. Can you let me know what the deal on this issue is?" AND one of the answers was Let's put it this way. Nobody has been sued, successfully, for copying rentals or movies they actually own. Unless you make the dumb mistake of returning a copy in your Netflix envelope, it's unlikely they'll know. Or if you get 8 DVDs and return all the same day.

How much does a Rental DVD cost to buy? That is to say, how much does a rental store have to pay for the average DVD movie which is licensed for rental? Thanks! I thought I should clarify; I don't mean how much I have to pay to rent the DVD, I mean how much does the shop/business have to pay to buy the DVD in the first place... P.S. almost all rental stores take credit card imprints in case you don't return it or if that bounces, send debt collectors after you... so they must be worth the effort? Yes that is a brand new DVD movie, not a resale... I'd imagine it may be several times the price of an average private-viewing-licensed disk?
