Redbox is a United States movie/game rental vending machine that charges $1 per day for a rental. They charge $1 per day for being late to return the movie, as well as a certain fee for not returning the movie. On a certain forum that rhymes with TrickDeals, people are openly discussing about renting the movie with a prepaid Visa/Amex gift card, with a balance of a few dollars, and not returning the movie, effectively having paid very little for the movie.
Now, this is completely unethical and illegitimate, but I want to know what kind of laws this violates.
People on the forum will constantly and consistently quote this as credit card fraud, shoplifting, or whatever else.
I know this isn't credit card fraud because the cards are (supposedly) legit, and I doubt it can be classified as shoplifting.
So what is this?
