How to steal video movies
|
||
by The Great Crumal

******************************************************************************
|
||
|
||
Anyone who has been to the local video store knows that video movies are too
|
||
expensive for most of us to buy. Sure, the prices have come down but who wants
|
||
to pay fifty bucks to watch a movie? In the past ten years I have observed the
|
||
home-video industry, and have learned many of the ways video movies are stolen.
|
||
Here, for your education are the techniques.
|
||
|
||
First, the video pirate will choose an easy prey. The easiest around is the
|
||
Wherehouse. They are very crowded and have too little help. This makes
|
||
creating a diversion very simple.
|
||
|
||
We will first talk about the simplest piracey techniques, then move to the
|
||
most complex. The simplest is to rent the film you want then dub (duplicate)
|
||
the film onto black video tape. This of course requires that you have a second
|
||
VCR. The dub you make will also be of lower quality, but this is the safest.
|
||
|
||
Another technique is to make a dub and then carefully open both cassettes and
|
||
trade the tapes. The dub will be in the comercial casing and the original will
|
||
be in your casing. (You end up with the better copy.) sometimes you can't do
|
||
this because the video store will put an anti-tamper sticker on the side. (If
|
||
you open the cassette it rips and you're busted.) But the Wherehouse is too
|
||
stupid to do this.
|
||
|
||
On to the more complex. If you rent a movie at the Wherehouse you can keep
|
||
it. In a month you will get a phone call asking where it is. You should get
|
||
all flustered and tell them that you returned it. They will of course say that
|
||
their computer still shows it out. Now you go down to the store and talk to the
|
||
manager. Get him when he's busy. Tell him that it's not your fault if he's got
|
||
idiots working for him. They must not have checked it in when you returned it.
|
||
He will give in and mark it missing. They will then stop hassling you and you
|
||
won't have to pay for it.
|
||
|
||
The most difficult and most daring is to go into the store and find a receipt
|
||
that someone has dropped. You look up what movies they checked out and you go
|
||
get them. You also need one of their bags. You put the movies and the blue
|
||
receipt into the bag and walk out. If anyone says anything show them the
|
||
receipt. If you really have balls you get any movie you want and don't care if
|
||
the receipt you have says "in" or "out" just flash the paper on the way out.
|
||
|
||
Again the key is to do any of these techniques when the store is jammed. Yes,
|
||
there will be few films on the shelves but you will also be lost in the crowd.
|
||
Invisable to the employees.
