in my copies of 'california' by mr bungle and 'viva! la woman' by cibo matto (and maybe others i haven't noticed but it's obvious in those two), there is a rectangular piece of metal (apparently) bordered with plastic attached to the inlay of the cd case... they're both by warner bros records, but 'stero*type a' by cibo matto, same record company, doesn't have it... it is somewhat unsettling and i am curious, does anyone know what it is? i can't see the purpose of it and i'd be tempted to remove it, in case it is an emettor or a magnetic evil device or something. °_° |

does it have a spiral on it? It may be a security tag. the spiral acts as an aerial so when it is not deactivated at the till ,the alarms on the doors sound. you know the things. Is it like a metallic sticker? |

|
no, it doesn't have a spiral, it's not that thing. |

haha ive got loads of them on cds...never on the inside though. just peel it off and throw away. life is full of bigger problems. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah, peel it off and toss it in the bin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
break it and then toss into two different bins. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok : ) i was just curious about its purpose, maybe some anti-stealing stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive had it in my mouth once i believe, i didnt chew it though: i dont know wether you should break it |
||||||||
|

I think it serves as an anti-theft device. I haven't stolen a record with that thing attached so I don't know wether it is just to scare the 14 year old's who want the new 50cent or actually working (i'm guessing it does). There is no need for it now though, so happy peeling :) |

|
|
yes, it definitely is an anti-theft strip... i saw a new kind on a dvd i just got. i peeled it off of the case and it left another, smaller strip that was underneath it. |

thanks! |

Yeah they deactivate it at the till. I had one once at school that I stuck on my folder for some reason and then it took me a year or so to work out why I could never go into shops with my school bag without setting off alarms. Handy hint though; if you walk into a shop setting off the alarm,they won't look twice when you walk out and set it off again. |

yeah that's a security tag, there's plenty of them over here in AUS. |
