Video Store Rental
How can I start my own Video Rental Store??? What do I need to do?
I think you seriously need to think about the economics of the business.
What is your strategy (what will you carry, how will you differentiate)? Are you going for a niche market? What kind of competition will you face (including Netflix and other non-physical businesses)? What can you charge? How much do you need to invest in the location and inventory? How are you going to finance it? When you analyze all that, can you get enough revenue as a physical location to justify the investment?

Wow, worse than one of my jobs. I used to work at an adult video store (rentals mainly) and we had plenty of DVD’s come back caked with baby oil, lube, who knows what… ugh.

Chris is arguing what's known as the sweat-of-the-brow theory of intellectual monopolies: someone who puts work into something deserves to control how it is used.
Taken to its extreme, this probably results in things you disagree with. (Michael Jackson has put a lot of money and work into his face. Can he charge people who distribute pictures of it? A newspaper reporter puts a lot of work into discovering a story. Can he charge people who repeat it.) And certainly, in the specific case of copyright, if Chris's world was in place we'd have no libraries or video stores, and all the books at bookstores would be shrink-wrapped or behind glass.
By Nick's reasoning, everyone who rents a movie from a video store or takes a book out of the library is a pirate, because they cost the author one potential sale (in the US, authors don't get paid anything for library or video store rentals).
Chris, do you feel authors have a right to keep their book out of libraries? They worked hard on their book, shouldn't they get to make the terms of use? If you don't, how do you distinguish libraries from downloads? (It's true that libraries don't usually involve copies, but this is a practical distinction — quibbles like that don't see like they'd interfere with a strong right.)
