nervousacid: The future of all media? You may be looking at it. The Daily What explains: Multimedia man Evan Roth created a whole bunch of stickers that read “Available Online For Free” and went around placing them on DVDs at local stores. Clever! You can download the eps file by clicking here and print out your own, if you are so inclined. Also: This is kind of-sort of a promo for his new book, similarly titled Available Online For Free, which — as promised — is available online for free. Just the other night I was walking down Eighth Avenue when I noticed the local Blockbuster had changed their name to “Blockbuster Media” — as in, “We’ve got DVDs right now, but we’re not sure what we’ll be selling next year. So, just in case, we’re changing our name to cover our bases.” Good luck with that. (via) —————— I have to say, if I owned and/or operated a store that sold CDs or DVDs and I caught somebody doing this to the merchandise, I would pull some seriously old-school Las Vegas “you try to beat the house?” tied-to-a-chair-and-beaten kind of shit on whoever was doing it.
