What would you do?

[Jim L]

I feel awkward about saying this, but this really happened to me.

I bought a new stereo/indash NAVI for my car yesterday.

The installer (local car audio place) put it in. It is a Kenwood that does CD/DVD/NAVI blutooth, etc.

When I was driving around, I was usually listening to my ipoD, but I got sick of that so I decided to put in a CD. Well, it wouldn't take it in the slot. So I thought "WTF???? My brand new Kenwood is f'd up and I can't put a CD in?"

I press the EJECT button and out pops another 'CD'. I look at it and it has written on it with a Sharpie 'Wolverine'.

I pop it back in and it starts playing. The FOX logo, then the real movie! I can't believe it! It is a digital rip of the full movie that isn't in theaters yet!!! This is not a camcorder transfer!

How do people do this? I have to say, I'm completely against this. I will gladly buy my movies at BestBuy, Amazon, anywhere. I believe the studio owns the content and is entitled to the profit. It is stealing.

But I got the movie and I feel very 'weird' about it. I like X-Men and I was planning to watch wolverine at the theater. If I liked it I would probably buy the Blu-ray. This just brings up a lot of different questions.

** I DO NOT ADVOCATE PIRACY **

I just wanted to say that, since the Mods may kill this post. This really happened to me and I'm in a quandary.

What should I do?:

• Call the car audio place and complain?
• Call the police?
• Throw it away and 'fuggedabouddit!'?
• Sell it to the highest bidder?

I don't really know. Please give me your input.

Sounds like your installer forgot to eject his test disc.

[Another_Dude]

Either watch it and shut up, or don't watch it and shut up.

This isn't the hill you want to die, or kill someone else on.

[Jim L]

If I keep it, I don't want to go to prison and become 'Bubba's girlfriend', if you know what I mean.

Seriously, this is odd. Why do people do this?

[peter008]

jim l god will not come down from heaven to kick your behind because of what happened it's the installer fault if the disc was still inside the article you bought not yours, if the installer realise his mistake he will contact you to correct that mistake. the eggs are on his face not yours so stop worrying and forget about it.

This is my thought as well. I would say just take it back to the shop and wipe yourself clean of this infectious disc. Doing anything else, especially since you are uneasy about the whole thing, will just eat at your conscience. Just drive back to the shop and return it, then you're totally cleared.

Sounds like your against even having it, break it and throw away.

[Maximus]

Mail it to the cops, or do an anonymous drop off...

[Rob71]

I would take it back and act disgusted about it. Be sure to use words like "theft", "criminal" and "piracy". Might get some speakers or an amp to leave.

[DetroitSportsFan]

Just throw the disc away if it bothers you so much.

[mikejet]

Your fingerprints are all over it and there's no way to prove it came from the installer. Just throw it away.

+1 I agree 100%. You'll sleep better tonight.

[JJ]

Yea I would just throw it away - first breaking it, then lighting it on fire.

[Teabaggins]

I would watch it and shut up

[Bigdog]

10 Bucks says he has already watched it from start to finish, i know i would of.

Ever see what happens when you put a CD/DVD in the microwave upside down for 5 seconds????????


Time to find out!


(it's pretty cool..... )


EDIT:

And the car-install guy probably thinks he's doing you a favor (if he left it for you intentionally)..... if you go in and complain, you'd probably look like a jerk....... I'd just toss it.

+1...what's the point in going back there just to make a scene? just throw it away and forget about it. definitely don't try to sell it....

that's where you get in trouble.

if it were me, i'd probably take it back to the guy that installed my stereo. you never know he might apprecitate it and hook you up down the line.

I was only joking.

Hence the big toothy grin smiley.

[Teabaggins]

uh, I'm sure the guy has a few copies of it or won't have any problem getting another one.....it's not like it's an original.

the car audio guy probably felt bad for raping Op on price and left he dvd in there as consolation
