As I recall, the screeners for one of the James Bond films (
Tomorrow Never Dies?) were self-destructing DVDs. It was billed as very James Bondish, but the idea was that they didn't have to worry about promotional materials ending up on torrent sites or sold at flea markets, as happens almost constantly still. At the time, there was major interest by Blockbuster for a mail program, a la Netflix, so that they don't have to worry about returns, worn out discs, lost in the mail, etc. You mail a disc to a customer, and forget about it.
