Dear Blockbuster,

I recently rented some movies from you over the weekend and saw a disturbing FBI message at the beginning of one of the films: “DVD FOR SALE ONLY”. I do not want to get in trouble with the FBI, as I have had some tax problems in the past, and do not want to press my luck. What do I need to do to safely resolve this situation? Can I purchase the film in question from you for the original cost minus the cost of the rental (which I already paid)? Will that be enough to keep me out of trouble?

Also, are you going to get in trouble from the government for renting a DVD that’s clearly meant for sale only, or did you simply mix up DVDs you had for sale and DVDs you had for rent? For what it’s worth, I will not say anything to the FBI about this matter, as I enjoy your video store very much and would not want to see it closed down.

Sincerely,
Linda Wilson

Maricar,

Oh dear, am I already in trouble? I do not want to provide my account information, as I fear that you may suspend it due to my recent actions. I did not intend to steal from Blockbuster, and hope we can resolve this matter without involving the authorities.

What do I need to do to continue being a valued Blockbuster customer? How much additional money do I need to pay in order to own “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel”? Hopefully after purchasing the movie in full, we can consider this matter resolved.

Linda Wilson
