Warner Bros sues in the case of 10 million worth of Batman dvds stolen!

If you ran these companies, you'd delete them too. You've got to figure that 20% or so of those extras would end up in the hands of people who would've otherwise bought their own copy, meaning that your good deed costs you a LOT of money.

Which is why, instead of paying someone to destroy the extra copies, WB would be better off putting them on the market and lowering the price. This increases sales and likely overall revenue if priced correctly. There is no further cost for producing the discs (although there may be some additional distribution cost) and there would not be a cost for destroying them.

You can pick this up on Play UK now for £4. I'm sure after the distribution WB would be looking at making next to nothing, well not enough to even interest them anyway.

And if retailers can sell it for that low a price then their stock obviously is greater than the demand. So perhaps WB have nobody left to distribute it to.
