They will probably be inserting subliminal messages into these new dvds that say stuff scratch your dvds when you take them out of the cases. ;)

They want you to scratch it.

I used to work in a warehouse for Polygram/Universal that recieved new and returned cds and dvds. They had 3 or 4 massive crushers that ran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They don't care that cds and dvds scratch or are easily destroyed, even when they take the hit. They figure you'll buy more the flimsier the product is. And if their pet politicians stay in their pocket, pretty soon they'll be making sure you don't make yourself a backup copy of the cd.
