Two collectors are loaning out VHS tapes for free, using the template of the little free library, but for videos instead of books. More than 200 of the so-called free Blockbusters have popped up across the country, but the owner of the actual Blockbuster brand isn't pleased with the name. Itay Hod has the story.

Exactly, I remember in the early 2000s when me and my parents would rent VHS tapes from Block Buster. But before returning them you had to rewind the VHS tape because if you didnt, you would get charged a fee. I think if my memory serves me correctly it was $0.25 per tape that was not rewinded back!

I love physical media. I have heard these stories of cassettes, vinyl, even CDs, etc. still being used just like the players. People collect those things and sometimes still use them. I’m a 30-something year old millennial and I grew up with some of that stuff. VHS and DVD are good things to have for whenever you want to watch them. Like some people here said, I miss Blockbuster. There are so many reasons for this revival and I support it. I refuse to have a streaming service because I don’t like spending so much money a month or a year on that stuff. I like to buy DVDs and the players so I can have them and use them. The age that we live in of all digital junk is not good for so many of us. I wish we could all be like our childhood selves and go back to when our parents and grandparents did everything when it came to owning physical media. It’s nice to remember things we did several decades ago when we were really young. The nostalgia factor is kicking in now.

I have a ton of old VHS tapes: Purchased movies, ones I've recorded, various screeners, and so on, piled in a closet. I do have some VHS tapes players too, including a couple still unopened in the box, because they got so cheap. The things is, I haven't looked at these tapes in years and years, and many never. With VHS tapes, they do degrade, especially ones you recorded yourself. Another problem. It may be nostalgic, but I'm unsure how long that will last.

I had lots of classic films on my old DVR that I’d saved from Turner Classic Movies that I then transferred to VHS. They too had a system where you could borrow one but you had to leave one. The disclaimer said, paraphrasing: Use the honor system. Return rewound movies. However, there is NO guarantee that a film lent out will be returned. Management cannot resolve issues regarding unreturned films.

If blockbuster wants to make some cash from this, my idea is to add an somekind of "Coin Lock" thingy. Everytime you want an movie, toss in a coin which unlocks the door then locks it back again when its closed. Either it can be regular cash coin OR somekind of custom made from Blockbuster itself which can be, either bought or received by signing an membership card or something.

I am surprised the movie studios are not calling this out as illegal, if you read the copyright at the start of most DVD, Blu Rays discs it states that lending is prohibited (that REALLY peeved me off when I read that as it means you can't lend it to a friend to watch after you have, you need to go watch it with them or have them come & watch it with you, you can't swap movies at work & return them the next day) & I am sure they would claim the same for VHS tapes as they want people to pay to watch their products (even as they remove them from streaming services you have paid for) instead of swapping an old movie people have seen for an old movie they haven't seen.
