Who else here is a freak...
By that I mean, is there anyone else here who loathes the security devices they put inside the dvd case. I don't know what it is, but I hate them. I just spent an hour going through all my cases to check and pulled out over 100 of those damn things. I've been pulling them out immediately after opening the dvd for at least the past year, but I had to scrub the rest of the collection. Surely I'm not the only one?

They don't bother me, I just take them off. But it does upset me when they're placed on cardboard, damaging a beautiful case. Looney Tunes is a perfect example.

I always yank them off upon opening a new DVD as I've come across a few cases where the security tags have come loose and affixed themselves to the discs. Not something I want to find a few years down the road when the option to exchange the DVD is gone.

It irks the hell outta me when they are placed under the clear plastic trays on cardboard packages. It taunts me- just sitting there a mere eighth of an inch from the tray surface, yet so far out of reach. It really minimizes all the efforts the package designers went to. There must be another way other than this glaring method...

I don't mind them on plastic (they come off easy enough), but I agree it's a shame when they are put on the cardboard, under the plastic, in digipaks... a la Looney Tunes and many others.
I've seen some digipaks that have the security tag stuck on a blank paper insert. Seems the obvious and logical solution to me, and it would add a fraction of a penny per unit to do it this way.

I once arranged to meet a friend of mine who had asked me for a loan of a few region 1 discs ( he's a fellow enthusiast so I knew he wouldn't use them as drinks coasters ). Anyway, I gave him the discs and then we decided to have a look around some of the local DVD stores. The security tags on the US discs set off the alarms in about three different places...
Now I remove the tags whenever possible.

I always remove them too. Pisses me off when they stick them under the plastic in digipaks. I've found using a stamp tongs is handy for extracting those nuisance tags.

I find myself picking them off on any disk I pick up... even when they're not mine!! 
Browsing a friend's collection the other day, I opened a case to look at the insert and absentmindedly picked off the security thing. Before I realized what I was doing, I had this thing stuck to my finger. It's just such a habit. |

Yep, a major wind-up here too. Nasty, tricky things.
