This is the word that all video rentals establishments should understand.

Penance.

When you pass over your hard earned money..hell, even soft earned money, you enter into a contract with the rental establishment…I want to rent X dvd to be able to view X dvd in the comfort of my own home. That’s the basics of said contract, what its (the contract) is based from…

Now what IF said dvd rented is unplayable. Does the contract become null and void since the other party failed to keep their end of the bargain (…watch said DVD). You think yes since during the initial exchange of money, my or yours receipt was an expectant reception of a playable dvd…but guess what, oppss no. The contracxt binding is and was always with the specific DVD you exchange over the counter. Even though there 40 more copies of your DVD, the one you pass over is the one bound to the contract.

Awesome.
