... At the same time though, it's impossible to tell if it's been purchased or purely rented when the contribution is made.

Regarding "part of collection":  a Wish List is, by definition, a list of discs I might want to buy.  Is it such a stretch to say that a list of rental discs I might want to rent or buy would be "part of my collection" in the same manner?  Indeed, a user is free to add any DVD to his collection.  Perhaps I want to have a collection of DVDs which artwork I enjoy, or which I think are so laughably lame that I would never buy them.  There is no legal requirement that a user add no disc to his collection that he has no intention of buying, so why would it be problem to track rentals?  As to the online:  a rental complies with the rule, strictly read.

DVDP can profile anything, it's even being used to profile a Wine collection.  As such, we can profile whatever we damn well wish, including rental-only DVDs regardless if they are being sold or not.

Now the question is if a DVD which isn't being sold to Mr. Average Joe should be in in the online database?  I say sure, why not, until Ken or Gerri pipe in and say not to.  It's not going to hurt anyone having the extra profiles - in fact, it can only help Invelos by having a more complete collection and it will help Mr. Average Joe down the line if he buys one of those previously-not-sold-to-Mr-Average-Joe discs.

I used to keep track of movies I watched via Netflix.  It's been stated already that some keep track of movies they've rented.  This proves that DVDP is being used to keep track of more than just what is personally owned.  And why shouldn't people do that?

It hurts nothing having the profile in the online database.

The problems here seem to be an issue with semantics.

To some people, a "rental version" means a disc that can only be rented, not owned.

But as far as I am concerned, there is no such thing. For example, I rent a disc that isn't sold at retail, or isn't available as a "used rental." But, I keep it, and I get charged for it since I didn't return it. Now I own it. And to say that this title can't be entered into the online database is just ridiculous as far as I'm concerned.

I call that theft,even though you were charged for it.You converted it for  your own use,

Quote:

Media Rentals.
When you rent media from our Kiosks (an "Item"), you will be charged the applicable rate per Item (the "Rental Charge") plus tax, if applicable, for the initial Rental Period (as defined below). Subject to the terms below, you can keep the Item as long as you like and return it to any of our Kiosks. You will not be charged any additional Rental Charge if you return the Item to any of our Kiosks prior to 9:00 p.m. (local time), except as otherwise provided at certain Kiosk locations, on the day following your date of rental (each such period is referred to as a "Rental Period"). If you return the Item at any time after the 1st Rental Period, you will be charged the Rental Charge plus tax, if applicable, for each additional Rental Period that you keep the Item. If however, you do not return an Item within the maximum rental period (which varies from item to Item) you will be charged the "Maximum Charge" (which varies from item to item), from which we will deduct your first night's rental but will charge you any applicable taxes. In such an event the Item is yours to keep. In the event you use a valid and unexpired promotional code provided by us when renting an Item from our Kiosks, the specific terms of the promotion associated with such promotional code will govern your rental.
