LOCAL and SHIP do not go together, ShipDip.

Those are placed by the DVD maker, and are unique to the title, NOT the
****ing disc, idiot.

Odd that none of my purchased DVDs have them.

Name 1 DVD presser that places a paper label and paper bar code on the disk?

Completely different ring/bar code. Netflix puts an Avery type white label
*ON TOP OF* the ordinary disc title label on the label side of the disc.
This label is *NEVER* "obscured" by the manufacturers title label. It is
on *TOP* of the manufacturers title label. For example, the film "2012"
(nifty special effects; otherwise blah) has a white Avery type round label
on top of the black/gray disc title label. It has the title "2012" and the
letter "N" on the top portion of the label, and a bar code with the number
554 at the bottom. The white Netflix disc sleeve also has a bar code and
the number 207554 at the top, with the number 554 surrounded by a square.
These numbers are not related to any disc ASIN or UPC numbers.

I have checked this on my last two Netflix rentals, as well as close to
a dozen purchased discs.

Obviously, you ****ing retarded twit, I am not referring to any added
****tard label that you ****tard rental retards are used to seeing.

I am talking about the disc, as pressed has ident encoding rings on
them at the hub. If your rental retard paradigm dumb**** slaps a label
on them after that, it is your problem, and theirs, not mine.

Then they are retarded as well. So is any idiot that would have a
problem reproducing one.

It would take me less than ten minutes, and that is only because I
would have to go find my camera, and add fresh batteries to it.
