There’s nothing being circumvented here. As another member pointed out you should check out how “first-sale” doctrine is used to decide these types of cases. Once Disney sells the DVD to Redbox they lose rights to dictate how further sales work.
My take is that Redbox is totally in the clear, and if Disney has a beef with somebody it’s with the consumer. Usually suing the consumer is bad for business.
- Spivak 9y agoIt's a bit of an absurd position to take that it's legal to sell the codes but not legal to buy/use them.
- matt_wulfeck 9y agoIt wouldn’t be illegal to buy them either. Disney can make a policy not to honor the codes, but it’s consumers they’re fighting against.
