Take a look at: http://www.record-eagle.com/2007/mar/15theft.htm
A man steals CDs from the library and sells them in a mall. How stupid, eBay is much easier :)
In my opinion, this scenario is only a start of a wave that will force libraries to take extreme measures to protect whatever media collections they have. As libraries try to compete and purchase "latest greatest" CDs/DVDs, this kind of rampage is to be expected, especially since selling these things has gotten to be so much easier. Furthermore, since copying CDs/DVDs is so simple, the lure of stealing a good CD and then selling it multiple times is great...
And...if you think RFID will stop it... then I have a certain bridge that's for sale...
Any thoughts?
