Blockbuster Sued for Porn!

Story.

Now this is just plain dumb. :|

People can record smut on the tape (themselves) and claim it was on there and their child saw it?

Talk about a can of worms!

Like they're going to inspect every tape! (hounds at BB)

This is the kind of stuff that brings DRM (and its associated tech) on hard.

By 2010, everything people do will be traceable.

Cheers!
 
There isn't 10 minutes of tape after the credits to a commercial movie. They keep it trimmed as closely as possible to cut costs.

And then watch all the way to the end of the credits.

And then hook up another VCR and dub some pr0n onto the end of the movie, and then return it.
 
You would be surprised at how many people fall asleep while a movie is playing. With that title, it wouldn't be difficult. Then imagine the shock when some porn comes on. What's worse, it could've been people just doing it in front of the camera. :Q Of course, electrical tape doesn't magically cover up the write protect tab on a VHS tape...

Cheers!
 
The pornographic material allegedly appeared for 10 minutes after the movie credits

so they sat there for 10 minutes after the credits ended? kinda doesn't really make sense (to me at least).

Exactly. You need to cover up that tab to dub onto the tape. I could sort of understand switching your homemade tape for a rented tape, but not adding onto it. Unless the person really desperately needed to record this act of pleasure, and was completely out of blanks/other tapes, then I cant see it worth the hassle to cover the tab and then fast forward to the end of the credits, and then record.
 
Other possibility is that the tape was "recycled" before the Home Alone was copied onto it.

I work with VHS and SVHS tapes a LOT.

Virtually ANYTHING will cover the write protect tab. I've used scotch tape, masking tape, electrical tape, duct tape, even a wad of chewing gum with a piece of paper stuck to it

I've also encountered VCRs that ignore the lack of a tab (One of two identical Symphonic POS's did that)

It's no hassle at all.

I find it very likely that the idiots filing the suit put the pr0n there for the express purpose of getting free money.
 
Actually, if you're gonna do something like record your pr0n onto a rented videotape, what you should do is put it at random spots DURING the movie itslef, not at the end after the credits. Like in "Fight Club", just insert a big penis shot, maybe 2 seconds worth, during the boring dialog parts to spice things up.
 
Home Alone 3!? What the hell were they thinking!? hahaha how did they know how much p0rn was on it? Did the daddy stand there and time it with his magical p0rn timing watch!? "10 minutes EXACTLY honey!" (that's right, I can't say p0rn, I had to add a bunch of 00's

It's pr0n. Not p0rn.
