Disney can print whatever they want on the code sheets, doesn't mean that it's necessarily enforceable (that's what a court and possible appeals will have to decide). Since they have no agreement to buy discs directly from Disney, RedBox buys their Disney titles by going into Wal-mart, Target, etc. just like any other consumer at retail. Publishers used to, and some may still, print in the front of their books that they couldn't be resold, but the first sale doctrine says differently.
