Expired Digital Copy Code

I got my birthday gift a little early this year, and it is something which can actually use the digital copy that came with movies I bought. I was a little late to the digital copy game. I had no need to bother with the digital copy until now so I didn't.

I pop in the digital copy of one of my movies. I realize that I have to type in the code on the insert. The code does not take and I retry 4 more times. Much to my chagrin in the tiniest print on the digital copy is an expiration date.

There apparently nothing legal you can do to use your digital copy after the expiration date of the code. If the movie as came with a regular DVD, you're best, easiest bet is to rip the DVD.

Just a sad way to do business.
