The idea of a one-play-only movie format isn't as old as the hills,
but it's definitely older than VHS.

One of the three original home video cassette systems was created by

watching rented movies more than once.

The lesson of what happened next would seem to _still_ not have been learned.

A news post would be appreciated.
