Our friends from the entertaiment industry do not only suffer from digital copies and file sharing networks, but another way of theft is the physical theft from their products in stores. The Tag Company has developed a solution to prevent shoplifting.
Their device goes inside the packaging box and if a thief tries to leave the store with a stolen CD/DVD it will break the disc inside the package and/or the package itself.
Red Tag® has been developed to enable retailers to more openly display DVDs and Games, without the threat of unacceptable levels of theft. Red Tag is easily and simply inserted into the disc box, locking the disc to the box and locking the box shut securing an EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) label inside. Illicit tampering of Red Tag-protected DVD's and games leads to substantial damage to the box or the disc, preventing thieves from acquiring pristine product and packaging for resale. Red Tag's patented locking system is designed to break the package and/or damage the disc unless the tag is removed by the store at point of purchase. |
Well I guess they now cover all kinds of piracy, the entertaiment industry certainly knows how to protect their products. I wonder what kind of solution will be introduced to break this protection
